Question:

: I have a male 12week Jack Russell. He loves to crawl on his belly in the grass, however, he's beginning to get a raised red rash on his underside. Do they make allergy medication for dogs?? Or can I use a topical cream like Hydrocortisone or Cortaid? He's not itching, but I am concerned.

Using an OTC medication on your puppy may do more harm than good when they are this age, I would see your Vet and ask him before using anything on a young puppy.
Sorry I can't be of more help to you but medical problems should be addressed by your Vet.
