My puppy Milo's creases near his eyes are irritated to the point they almost bleed.  His eyes tear alot and and rubs then on the floor in a rolling method almost.  Any remedies for this?  I wash his face everyday  but they look sore in the folds.  please help

This is usually sorted by minor surgery. The vet will let  you  know the best way to sort this out. The little peke will be very uncomfortable if it is not done

As mari said you need the vet to sort this out if it is the eye lashes then if you leave it to long the dog will get ulcerated eyes and could go blind.

Your peke could have ingrowing eyelashes, or inturning eyelids causing the lashes to rub on the eye and causing the excess tearing.  I would imagine the irritaion in the fods is a symprom of this.  As the others said you need to get the underlying eye lash/lid problem sorted.  For the actual skinfolds after cleaning them carefully apply good old Vaseline/Petroleum Jelly which will act ass a barrier to the wet and allow the skin to heal.  My kids were alergic to any nappy creams with zinc, but plain Vaseline in the leg creases prevented and heled any irritation.
