Urin burns

Young Bun
Just had a look at my poorly girl shes looking a little sore where her black legs join her tummy and I can only think this is down to urin burns despite my daily washing and drying :(

Her immune system is quite weak but can I put either sudocrem or vet salve on these without causing any problems to a weak bunny?

I dont have anyone to help me trim her, I did take some of the worst off at the weekend but I will take her to a good vets this week
 
It is perfectly safe and ok to use sudacrem and my vet confirmed this, but did say that vaseline is better because it is waterproof. You must use something because their skin is so paper thin and it could tear if it gets too dry and be so sore for your bun, and then you have the risk of infection as well.
 
Thanks Rodger

I put some vet salve on her this morning its Vaseline like but with a strong antibiotic smell and tonight weve had a wash blow dry and sudocrem
