Here at Ferret Wise, for skin irritations, hot spots and adrenal problems we use Calendula lotion or cream. It can be found in all health food stores and also is ok for ingestion. We have seen REMARKABLE healing with just 1-2 application. Calendula is a flower and also is used for treating upset stomachs, so it is a mild but effective healing agent. Hope this helps.
