There is no cream recommend to be put in a spot near his lip since he will just lick it off. If there are sores on his body you can alternate antibiotic cream such as neosporin with cortisone cream. You can also give him a good bath to help the skin. I would have the spot on the jaw line checked to make sure there is no growth that may be cancer or no immune mediated skin problem as these may need a biopsy or or oral medication to clear
