Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Betty! If it is a moist dermatitis around or under her tail the best thing is to prevent licking by using an E-collar, start her on an oral antibiotic and steroid course to dry it out. Without seeing a picture or examining her it is hard to know what the inciting cause is: has she been scooting and has full anal glands? Is is allergies. It is best to make an appointment with your Vet since it hasn't improved. Otherwise give your treatment several days to see if it will help then take her in. I hope this helps and I wish Betty a speedy recovery!
