Mini pig rash?

Question
My pig has an itchy rash on her chest and then small hive like bumps in between her legs.
The rash on her chest has a weird stink to it.

Do you have any idea what this could be? Is it something serious?

Also, if you have a means of receiving pictures maybe I can send one to you later. Thanks, she is a pet and I don't want her to be itchy like this :)

(and she sleeps with me so its a little gross, gave her a medicated bath last night that may or may not have helped)

Answer
Pig skin is very much like people skin, and the things that affect people skin can affect pig skin. I am not a veterinarian and can not make a medical diagnosis over the internet.

Some things that can cause a rash are mites, ant or spider bites, scented laundry products, scented rug cleaning products, and lawn chemicals. A rash can also be a sign of an illness like erysipelas.

You can use any skin product made for people on pigs. If a medicated lotion or soothing ointment doesn't fix the problem in a couple of days, or if other symptoms develop, she'll need to see a veterinarian for a skin scraping and test, and maybe two doses of mange medicine.
