It has taken time, frustration, doctors visits, discomfort, itching, lotions and potions, guessing, fear and more....
But Bode is ready for his close up! Yeah!
We have been using the steriod cream on him for 3 days and the improvement in incredible! I was not sure if I should post the before or after first in the order here.... I think you'll see why I opted for the "after" photo......BEFORE

How we got there.....My favorite item in this product line is the oatmeal Soothing Bath Treatment. It looks just like a packet of oatmeal..... I don't think you want this for breakfast though! You sprinkle it in the bath water and then the water strangly looks like something you should NOT be bathing in. But then a little time passes and suddenly you can feel the smooth skin. It really is a great product, I finally found it at Walgreens and I plan to go back and buy the store out of them!
The doc said we could use this for little flare-ups and I did use it on his entire back yesterday. It seemed to help some. 
Now for THE BEST PRODUCT of all!!! I was so happy when doc got us a prescription for this steriod cream! Bode's skin responded to it immediately. 
He was so uncomfortable and itchy and in pain before. Now he is one happy camper. Look at that first picture again and you can see just how happy he is to be feeling better!Now I am keeping HUGE amounts of lotion on his skin. When I say HUGE, I mean HUGE! Whatever it takes to keep this little guy happy!

WOW! I can't believe it Carin! He just looks fantastic! Keep up the great work. What a smile, hopefully he'll give me one of those next time I see him-RUT
He looks so much better... and from the picture I didn't even see him at his worst! Glad you found something to help!... Like the rest of your pictures too!

YEAH for Bode and modern medicine! It was so sad to see Bode with his rough, red skin. Now to see him smiling and resting easier...a blessing. Gramma Mary
