Thanks very much for the good info and advice.

We do clean the fold, just not often as her fold has been pretty small until as of late as she's continues to grow.

I believe it's just a matter of keeping it cleaner etc. and it doesn't stink, isn't stick etc.

I still want to try to take a pic, to see what the experts on here think though - I should have my camera out for Thanksgiving and will share..

I looked for some of those masaleb wipes but cannot find a place that has them in stock online, anybody have a place they use that has them not on backorder?

redness alone would not concern me because the fur is very thin and short inside that nose fold, and it doesn't get a lot of "air" but if it is "sticky and/or stinky" that would cause concern for likely fungal involvement, so just cleaning it periodically (not necessarily more than 2xweek) and putting a little medicated powder or even corn starch in the fold (using a 'nosed' squirt bottle similar to a mustard container would be recommended so you don't get powder in the eyes or inside the nose either.

As for what to clean this fold with, there are several options including an earwash solution, babywipe, peroxide on cotton ball, or even a wash cloth with light suds from liquid Dial soap, but need to rinse that out well to not leave any residue.

If the fold becomes quite irritated, you can apply Animax or diaper cream or little Neosporin ointment...but don't put powder on top of these moist preparations or you make a goopy mess of this area and the results of that will be an itchy dog.

When you use these, do you simply clean with them and let the area dry naturally or do you recommend trying to powder and/or dry the area after you clean with the wipe?

I'm going to take some pictures tonight as her redness has not seem to disappear although I have been trying to clean the area daily now etc.
