Hi mate, well I could reccomend alot of things,but the treatments available from a pet store are not much copp IMHO, and the meds from a vet is really overpriced for something like that.
What I would use as a budget and real effective concoction is

Sudocrem cream (available from any chemist and available in real small tubs)
Then mix it with vasolene.

Mix these two things in a little bowl and massage it into the skin.
The anticeptic in the Sudocrem treats the infection and soreness, and the vasolene treats the dry skin.

Give it a try, it works wonders

Pleasure. Do one application in the morning and one at night, as the skin dries up during the day, especially if the dog gets hot
