my dogs mouth

Question
My dog has recently come down with a bad irritation on her jowels we have been cleaning but it does not seem to get better. What may this be and how do i clear it up with out the expensive vet visit?

Answer
THERE IS NOT TOO MUCH INFORMATION IN YOUR QUESTION, BUT THERE ARE 2 PRIMARY REASONS FOR THIS.  ONE IS ALLERGY AND THE OTHER IS CHIN ACNE.  A VET WILL NEED TO LOOK AT THIS TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE.  IS THE DOG SDCRATCHING ANYWHERE ELSE OR LICKING ITS PAWS?
