Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. A topical steroid spray may be more effective in reducing inflammation. I would also consider bathing with a shampoo such as Douxo PS Calm shampoo, which can be found online quite easily and bathe twice weekly until resolved. If there is no improvement, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine the area so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
