Captain had a "skin problem", but not acne. He had an allergy to GRASS!!!!

He had a rash on all "elbows", and on his front paws. I had to give him antibiotics, and wash him 3 times a week with "special - Mummy wore gloves" shampoo.
IT WORKED - it came back the next year, very minor, washed him again with the medicated shampoo, and "touch wood", has not come back this year.

My Mum's Dog - Pugsley - has a skin condition too. He looses hair in patches (he is a staffy). Mum has herbal shampoo and some medication for him. It comes and goes, but he is OK now. He also had a rash all over his tummy from the same thing ........ but it is much better now too.

Hope Malone grows out of it
