Well we went to the doctor yesterday. Dr. Randall told us that he believed that the spot on Bud's nose was an allergic reaction to the degreaser. He called is a severe case of contact dermatitus caused by a caustic chemical. He prescribed him with two weeks of prednisone (steriods) beginning with 5 a day for 3 days, then 4 for 3, so forth. He also gave him a cortizone cream to apply twice a day. Told him to keep his hands off of his nose, and don't touch unless appling the medicine. He told us to come back in two weeks. If there is a noticable difference, (new skin growth) then we should be ok. He measured it to be 2cm x 2cm. Hopefully it will have shrunk by then. If not, he will take a biopsy and then send it off for more information. And we will go from there to a plastic surgeon to remove all of the bad tissue and have his nose grafted with a piece of hip skin.
Yall please pray for him. He told the doctor that if his nose healed up, he was gonna quit smoking, (doctor gave his a script for Chantix). I'm gonna hold him to it. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Love ya, Toot
