Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Medicating around the mouth is hard because they tend to lick medications right off. Sometimes just wiping with a warm wet cloth and drying thoroughly once per day can help with a moist dermatitis. Otherwise, you’ll need to see your vet for an oral medication or a medication that is safe to be licked. Best wishes to you and Bentley.
