Re: OT: Skin Problem

[Gloria B. Lane]

For skin problems, I use Golden Seal or Gentian VIolet.  My grandmother 
told us about gentian violet for ringworm,back in the 50's.  I've never 
seen it not work.  But it's messy, I always have to be careful about 
getting this purple stuff on so that it doesn't make a mess. Drug stores 
here still have it for a few dollars.

Golden seal is used on open areas that need to hea.   It's great too, not 
messy (a little yellow sometimes). I use it on scratches, wounds, mouth 
ulcers, etc.  It's also an anti fungal.  I get it at the health food store.

Hi all,
Just a question, the new kitty from Wisconsin, her hair has grown back on 
her lower outer thigh (it was only broken at the shaft) there has been no 
redness or any other skin nuance....the woman that she is with is using 
Microtek (as a percaution) and giving her Fulvicin (again just as a 
percaution), but now she said when brushed brown flakes come off...This 
just does not sound like ringworm to me, and suggestions? I really want to 
pick her up on Tuesday, but for my furr babies and son's sake I am a 
little leary.

Thanks
Cherie
