Hello there, Chlorhexidine mousse is a very safe thing to use on a mild rash like this. If the rash is not significantly improved within a week, or becomes worse, please have Tadpole seen by his veterinarian, as he may need a different treatment. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
