Carefully observe the symptoms of skin diseases on the dog's tail, including redness, itching, ulcers, hair loss, etc. Record the time and changes of symptoms to provide detailed information to the veterinarian.

Use warm water and appropriate pet detergent to gently clean the skin on the dog's tail to remove possible dirt and bacteria. Avoid using too many chemicals to avoid irritating the skin.

Try to avoid skin diseases on dogs licking, biting or rubbing their tails to avoid aggravating the symptoms. Consider wearing a collar or a protective cover to prevent them from touching their tails.

Some skin problems may be related to diet, and trying to change the dog to a healthy, suitable pet food may help improve skin condition. If you are unsure about how to adjust your diet, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian or pet nutritionist’s advice.
