All of the advice above is spot on. To clear it up, I would head to the vet and check on the powder.
For a slightly irritated or healthy rope, I swear by desitin. Not only does it relieve discomfort, but it provides a nice barrier. This would be after it has begun to clear up. If there is an open sore, a trip to the vet is in order.
I only clean every few days but I look at it every day to make sure there is no gunk. A good food has helped us clear it up quite well. When I do clean, I use peroxide (or oddly enough, an ear wash then I blow on it to dry and dab with a cloth or cotton pad (not balls, the round, flat pads) then desitin. I have tried EVERYTHING under the sun! For yeast I have used malacetic that I order on Amazon. Works quite well.
Good luck and let us know what the vet says. Poor girl must be uncomfortable.
