Thanks for reaching out about Piglet. Very little is known on how they absorb chemical through the skin, so none are recommended. Review and correct diet (for vitamin A and other nutrients) and husbandry parameters (temperature, humidity). Application of pure aloe vera might be the only possible topical application. Try a small area first and monitor for several days. Good luck.
