i haven't bathed them for over two weeks, but i might give in soon. I guess if i don't bath them, they miss out on the soothing effect of the aloveen. It got a little worse again on friday but its quite bearable. he only itches occasionally now (mainly around 6am & sometimes in the evening). No so bad that he cries & bleeds or anything like that. I'll keep them off beef & wheat for a while as my strategy.
