Chest Problem

Hi All,
We have a 6 year old standard Dachshund called Sidney. Having a lovely pronounced chest, and the fact he won't lie on a soft surface, he has developed dry, calloused skin on his central rib cage area over an area approx 12 cm x 6cm. The vet suggested a T Shirt for him but, as we live in a hot/humid climate, this just made it worse. It hasn't seemed to cause him any pain or bother in the past but has become infected this past week resulting in pussy discharge over the whole area and saggy skin. Not nice. We are applying an antibiotic cream from the vet for the infection. My question is has anyone else encountered a similar problem and did they discover any effective remedies? Given the location it is impossible to stop him lying on the area and I'd like to try anything that might help. Thanks. Appreciate any advice.
