Staffies are a well know breed for allergies and skin conditions. The location of the rash suggests that it is more or likely a contact allergy. The fact it's in summer and spring is probably due to the increase in pollen in the air.
There are a few things that you can try to help your dog before taking him to the vet. Product name will vary depending on your location. The product that I tend to recommend is "Malaseb" which is a medicated wash. It's active ingredients are Chlorhexidine and Miconazole so you should be able to find something with similar ingredients wherever your from. It's an anti-bacterial, anit-fungal and anti prurtic (stops the itch). Often when you get these allergies the skin gets inflamed and you end up with a secondary infection, which is what this particular product will help to treat and/or prevent. Use it weekly.
If it doesn't clear up or it gets worse, talk to your vet. They can give you a something like Prednisolone or Macrolone which will help him out a lot.
Hope this helps!!
