can anyone please tell me where can I buy hibiscrub and how do I apply cornflour to my labs wt excema?

You can buy hibiscrub from Boots (I'm sure other pharmacies will stock it too).

I've never heard of using cornflour on wet eczema.  Athlete's foot powder works well, though.  It has the same ingedient as hibiscrub, I think (chlorhexedrine).

You are better off using sterile wound powder (you can buy larger packs at horse supplies shops where it can be found in white and black), this is what I have used for hot spots/wet eczema with success.

If you want to minimise coat loss after the scabs form rub aloevera gel into them, they will then break up and come away without the hair coming away too.

I have used cornflour a few times on wet exema, very successfuly too. I clip hair  from affected area & clean with hibiscrub, then pat on cornflour as often as it gets wet, it is v messy, but worth it!

You'd need to double check but I'm sure you can use Thornit on excema, if it works as well on skin as it does on ears it'll have cleared up in a jiffy.

My girl had a bit of wet eczema after being stung.  One of the other girls pulled her fur out!  I put thornit on once it looked nearly healed and after 3 days her fur is coming back and her skin looks much better.
