Tail Pocket Irritation Fix?

[Pork n Pickle2]

Our 6-year old male has a pretty deep tail pocket. We wipe it out with squish face wipes every time he goes to the bathroom to keep it clean. Recently, this seems to "bother" him so we started putting a little squish face paste in the pocket to help with the irritation but wondering if there is anything else we can do?

Thank you!

Has the vet checked to see if his tail pocket is infected or his tail is impacted?

He just had a dose of antibiotics for something else a month ago, so I doubt it’s an infection. I can ask them to check next time we go in though. Any other suggestions? I’m wondering if we’re wiping it out too much and he’s a little raw?

My girl, years ago, we used an antibiotic powder.. neo-predef it helped to keep the tail pocket clean and dry
