Question

and inflamed,I was wondering if there is a specific way to clean it...

Answer
Hi- Yes, you should be cleaning the folds and creases every day or so. The pet stores sell some wipes to use for this.  For now take a soft wash cloth and a little bit of water and a tiny bit of soap.  Wipe the area gently and then dry well.  Again, make sure you wipe and dry with a very soft hand.

If the areas seem to be infected then you may want to see the vet. They can give you some triple antibiotic and a possible a oral antibiotic also.

Good Luck
