strange skin problems

Hi all,
Has anyone seen anything like this before? It's a lump of dried skin all clogged together and underneath the skin is really raw and sore. Its right at the base of his tail where it joins his body, in that little crease.
The vet thought it was a bit of dermatitis due to the skin fold and we've tried baytril and hibiscrub bathing but its not really healed.

I've had another bunny have this before but can't remember if we solved it or not?

Thanks
 
No, not yet. She said try the bathing and abx and go back if not better. We have appointments on Wednesday for vaccinations (hopefully) so I'll see what she thinks.

Is fungal infections as in what you'd get in moist damp places? She'd mentioned it might be because of the folds of skin and the heat, so maybe that's it.

It's quite sore though. He won't let me bathe it now. Although its crusting over a bit now eewwww!

Thanks Jane
Xx
