Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Without pictures it is difficult to say what this could be. However, based on your description, this could be an area of irritation or an area where moisture has collected and a fungal / bacterial infection has developed. If it does not improve and worsens, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine Milly so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
