Hi, it is important to understand why she is licking this area. Does she have urinary incontinence and is she cleaning herself for example, or does she have impacted anal glands ? Sudocream can be applied as one off, but can be potentially toxic if ingested on several occasions. I would recommend to have her checked over to understand what the underlying problem is, you will get an improvement in a shorter period of time and that will last for longer.. rather than just trying to soothe the skin. Hope this helps !
