It depends what the rash is from. A vet can prescribe a steroid that will minimize an allergic reaction, but you want to know what caused the rash in the first place. Your dog could have layed in something he was allergic to, or it could be a skin allergy related to food.

You need to know why it happens- is it sand, fleas, allergy? Bag Balm is very efficacious. However, this is only a stop gap for minor, temporary issues. This could be serious. You may have mange, a genetic or nutritional deficiency or a condition requiring your trusted vet and a course of prescribed antibiotics and medical baths.
