Most bulldogs have a somewhat 'inset' tail meaning that it has some fold or wrinkle on the rump above where the tail projects from the body and this begins the "tail pocket area" often referred to...now wrap that area around to include the depression or pocket area under where the tail extends from the body and you have the entire area that doesn't get much air, tends to hold moisture/sweat and can become irritated, smelly, and when its this way its painful for the dog. Some dogs tail is quite tight against their body and it requires care and patience to get your fingers into that underside pocket to pull out loose hairs and clean a bit. Altho its important to cleanse the area with shampoo when bathing, its also important to rinse out that soap to avoid irritation. Some clean the area regularly with a baby wipe but if your dog's pocket remains clean and fresh, its best to not bother with it until bathtime IMHO. HTH
