Witch Hazel

There is a common OTC astringent called Witch_Hazel that is sometimes effective in preventing and even healing lick granuloma. It will NOT stop the dog from licking (nothing seems to do that reliably), but it seems to prevent the self-injury from developing into something serious, and will in some cases reverse it. Effects are seen within only a few days. Surprisingly, in spite of alcohol being a major ingredient, it does NOT dry the skin excessively and can be used as a dry bath every other day (mixed 1/2 with water and applied with a cloth).
