My dog has a swollen, scaly rash near her vulva. How can I help?

Question

My Chihuahua age 2 1/2, started to get a rash near her vulva about 3 days ago. When I noticed, I gave her a cool bath and cleaned the area well. Today I came home and found that it has become a bit scaly and dry and has gotten a bit bigger with some swelling there too. I try to the best of my abilities to prevent her from licking the area.

I suggest you use these medicated pads on the affected area 1 to 2 times per day until healed. If no improvement then she should be examined by your vet. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-5393-douxo-chlorhexidine-3-ps-pads-for-dogs-and-cats-30.aspx?SearchTerm=duoxo+Auto?SearchTerm=duoxo%20+Auto )
