Hi my dog, a 12 year old Bichon poodle has a very irritated rectal area. Always trying to bite at it. We tried warm washcloth cloths and cleansing it well with soap and water, neosporin, but it’s not helping. What would you recommend at this point? Would ibuprofen help?

No, do not give Wrigley ibuprofen, it is highly toxic to dogs! Complications can consist of internal bleeding and damage to liver and kidneys just to name a few. I would have him seen by a vet today have this diagnosed and treated.
