Hartz and other companies make a hydrocortisone spray (most add aloe as a soothant) that is effective for skin Allergies (contact dermititis) which result in excessive scratching, licking or biting off of hair. However, be careful in where you use it. Label warning specifically says: "Do not use where infection (pus) is present, since product may allow infection to spread." This is because any corticosteroid can cause localized, or even system wide, reduction in immune system response. Also do not give any corticosteroid to a pregnant animal without a Vet prescribing since it has been linked to certain birth defects. Likewise, if you're pregnant wear latex or non-latex gloves when you apply it and rub it in. Be careful not to inhale the mist. Better yet, if you're pregnant have your husband or a friend apply it. God bless.
