our boy, Henry, has quite a tight tail and we clean it quite regular as well.... he suffers from yeast issues now and then so we use malecetic wipes to clean the tail pocket as they have a drying agent. Baby wipes don't s we try and use those only on spots that we can ensure we can dry out. Witch Hazel really helps out too. For powder, we use cornstarch. We asked the vet for a little bottle that looks like an ear drop bottle. We can squeeze and spray the powder quite precisely with that little bottle. We find that he can go for a couple of days before we need to do it again but during a yeast flare up we will clean it twice a day. Now and again when it gets really inflamed we use a cream called Viaderm KC. It is a steroid cream so we use it sparingly and only when needed,
Hope this helps!! Best of luck
I'm not sure how true it is, but since cornstarch is a food I heard (via Internet so not sure) that it actually feeds the yeast. Since then I switched to using gold bond medicated powder. Downside is the gold bond booty smell though! But it works good!
