I found Johnson & Johnson's Clean & Clear Foaming Facial Wash on the acne shelf in my local Wal-Mart. You just wet the tail and apply the Clean & Clear then scrub it real well with a hand brush or soft tooth brush. RInse well and scratch out any remaining blackheads with a finger nail or toothpick. Do this daily for about 2 weeks, then twice a week until the tail stays clean. Several other people have followed this and have reported good results also. -- Russ, Booger, Bonnie & Clyde [log in to unmask] URA Redneck if you answer the door with a baseball bat in your hand..
