How to treat my English Bulldog's irritated, itchy screw tail?

Question

how can I treat the underside of my English Bulldogs screw tail? It got irritated by not rinsing well enough during a bath, Now it is kind of juicy and very itchy for him. Can I use a ptoduct called Nu Stock? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 3 years and 6 months old | 25 lbs

You can apply that medicine but it might not be strong enough. You can always try cortisone cream if it is red and inflamed or Neosporin if it is infected, which is sounds from the discharge you describe. If it is very moist from being in a skin fold sometimes medicated powder helps dry it out. You can also try creams for diaper rashes if it is in a skin fold. If there is no improvement or it seems to bother him to where he makes it worse, then he may need to be seen for oral medication.
