These are often due to a fungal or bacterial infections, but it's not possible to tell for sure without doing a thorough exam. The best thing you can do is flush the area with cool water once a day for 1-2 minutes. You can then wipe the area with a medicated wipe (can find this at the pet store). Make sure the area is dried well after cleaning it. If it gets worse, or is not getting better within two weeks, then it's best to have a vet evaluate it and advise on further treatment options.
