    A Dr. can prescribe a medication or pill to help you, but first he has to find out exactly why your skin is scaring, like if your allergic to certain animals or bugs that are on the animals. Just a thought but could the people who have the animals be carrying the ticks or bugs from there animals and then when they brush against you they travel to your body?

    Take 1500mg of fresh garlic clove, vitamin C and vitamin B1
    After awhile it will build up in your system and repel insects.
    Some people swear by using Avons Skin So Soft it repels insects
    From wanting to come near them too.
    Use citronella candles also.


    I remember years ago watching one of the day time talk shows and
    A lady that was scarred invented this scar camouflage make up.
    I don't remember her name or the name of the product.

    If you had a tick at any time you need to get the doc to check you.

    1) Have your doctor check it out to be sure. 2)Ask your friends with the animals if there aware of there animals having ticks or fleas.3) it could be your allergic to the dander the animals give off also your doctor probably can tell you best of what treatment they have for your skin condition. Good Luck!

    Try using Iodex ointment. I use this stuff all the time. It has iodine suspended in a petroleum base. Anytime I have a cut or scratch or bug bite I put this on and rub it in real good. The scar, cut or scratch or bug bite heals up extremely fast with no scars left. I also use this for bruises. It make the bruise heal up within days versus a week and a half. Ask your drug store to order you some. It comes in a little glass jar for about $10 and will last you for a long time as you don't use but a pea size at a time.

    This stuff has been around for many many years. I believe it was around 1920 or so when it was first offered for sale. Don't let your pharmacist tell you they can't get it. I can buy mine online as easy as order from the drug store.
