My dog licks private area, has redness and eye discharge. What to do?

Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Female | unspayed | 25 lbs

Hi my dog kept licking her private part areas and also I have another dog that copies her and licks her as well. I tried cleaning it and putting on the vaseline of the redness put they keep licking it. I bought her an e collar recently and put the other dog on a cage while I’m away to work. Is there any medication topical or medicine I can put so the redness will heal? Also she has a little discharge in her eyes, she seldom gets it, could it be the weather changes? Thanks lots for your help

It's clear this area is bothering Chanel, and she needs to see a vet to have this treated. Her eyes also need treated. Any eye problem has to been by a vet immediately as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I urge you to take her into a vet now.
