Sounds like he has a yeast infection in the fold of his wrinkle and yes it will spread if not treated. Deffinitly wash his face with warm water and a disinfecant soap such as "Hibitane" (the vets use it before surgery) clean his face and wrinkle very well then you can sprinkle "Gold Bond Medicated Powder into the wrinkle (be carefull not to get any in his eyes or nose.) Keep the wrinkle clean and powdered. Also your vet may recommend a cream to help clear up the infection.
