Question
I have a female with quite an irritation/infection to one of her facial folds. Any suggestions?

Answer
Ok, a bullie kid with ? yeast infection..... If the area smells and is very red she will need to see the vet for a antibiotic.  

For the future you need to clean the folds well and then dry them.  Many English bullie dog owners use baby wipes / unscented / natural - and then some corn starch on a q-tip.

You clean the folds every day with the moist baby wipes - dry with a baby wash cloth ( 100%), of cotton.  Then, you place some corn starch onto q-tips and pat the folds with very small amounts of corn starch.  
( keeps the area dry and help to avoid yeast bacteria)


Also, a good diet is a plus /  Grain free dog foods and a probiotic will help.

Let me know if you want to change the food and add some supplements and oils to her diet.

Good Luck
