Folliculitis????????????

Ok, so lots of people have been asking how Allie's bottom is. So sad that so many people know about her poor personal issues! But I have found my hero and I think possibly the cure in Dr. Ireland. FOLLICULITIS. Which means that she somehow got a bacteria infection of a hair follicle on a place of her body that doesn't even have hair. Go figure.... only us. Anyway, my wonderful friend Candace (who is a pharmacist by trade, a mom of 3 and pure genius with childrens illnesses) said I should talk to Dr. Ireland who goes to our church before taking Allie to get allergy tested and checked by a dermatologist. She mentioed to him Allie's case last wednesday night at church and do you know what he said??? DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID??? RASHES ARE MY SPECIALTY!!!!!!
Do not pass go
Do not collect 100 dollars.
I pounced over to him like a cat pouncing on prey.
And yes I shucked my poor daughters pants in the middle of our fellowship hour and supper. The wonderful brilliant man took one look at it and said ' it's not food, it's folliculitis, it can be caused where there is no hair b/c of blah blah blah. the blah blah blah is what i started hearing when he started writing a script and talking about a cure because all I could see was the script. I all but kissed his feet, loaded up the girls....who cares about classes after supper, straight to Walgreens we went:
Bactroban Cream- on bottom and in the inside of her nose (yes nose, that is where we carry lots of bacteria apparently)
Hibicleanse Soap- cleanse daily
NO cream with any steriod of any kind for folliculitis he said (which we've been faithfully doing since september)
NO benadryl cream (which we've done whenever she itches it.
And I am happy to report........... IT IS ALMOST GONE!!!!

I will keep you updated since I'm sure none of you have anything better to be updated on!

Peace-

that is awesome!! yay for the booty! and for dr. ireland! i agree that he is awesome. he's not our regular (though maybe he should be), but we've seen him, and william LOVES him...which is saying something b/c william hates strange men. anyway, he drew william a stick man on a tongue depressor, and william still talks about "dr. Iland." anyway, i'm so glad y'all are better, and you don't have give up PB&Js!!
