If this is the only area affected, a local antibiotics spray or shampoo sould be all you need. It looks like a skin infection. If she is itchy all over, she may have a more generalized infection and may need antibiotics. If you have Benadryl, give her 25mg once or twice a day, it may or may not help with the itching but the underlying cause should be addressed.

Hello: My English Springer Spaniel has the same problem. We were told it's either a heat rash or allergy. He told us to apply Zinc Oxide cream. We did and with in a few days it was gone. Just make sure that your dog doesn't lick the cream off. Most won't cause its smells not great to them. Just a suggestion.
