grease gland issue in sow?

[mackenzieluvslife]

i’ve posted this to reddit but gotten no response. i have had my two girls for 4 years now, got them when i was turning 13 and i am now turning 17.
i have just noticed this dried, stinky stuff near latte’s bum. a rinse with warm water did not do much.
her hair is trimmed short in the photo for a better look.
is this a grease gland issue? hygiene issue? does she need a vet? should i grab some coconut oil to rub on it? advice is much appreciated !!

If you are concerned that it doesn’t look healthy, then do see a vet
