Hi,... "CoCo" is certainly lucky, NOW that you have him,.....feel good about that! As for the itching, bare skin, "8in1" "Corti-Care" Hydrocortisone Spray works great! I tried the "Benedryl" spray, but that has a very strong 'mediciney' odor that makes the fert want to escape!...Even the "generic" brands of Benedryl like CVS or Rite Aid, have that odor..... The "Corti-Care" is in a pump spray with no odor, and when sprayed on your hands, & "caressed upon your itchy one", they love it! It also has 'Aloe Vera' in it, & leaves the skin moist,..not dried out. I've used it for over 18 years on my 'follically challenged' babies with great results. Good luck to you & "CoCo"!! Dooks!...
