Poor Lilly! Allergies can cause something like this but so can a random infection. If she has this issue frequently, then allergies become more suspect. I recommend to have Lilly examined by her veterinarian as she may need oral medications to clear that up. Ask the veterinarian if they recommend any specific type of wipes to use on the area. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
