Default Holistic: Re-grow elbow callous fur?

Mr. NaughtyBody von den ThunderBunz has developed some elbow callouses. It's in part because he's the size of a wooly Mastodon. I am not in the USA and need an herbal, holistic kinda solution for this, as I cannot get USA brand name stuff here. What will help the fur grow back? Anything? Vitamin E oil? Anything herbal? <span style="color: #CC0000">Has anyone ever had success in getting the fur to re-grow?</span>

I heard something called Bee Balm is good for mastiff callouses so it should be good for GS.

Actually, the callouses are soft, so I am not worried about them-- I just want fur re-growth! Anyone know what helps with the fur re-growth?

Biotin maybe? Or a product with a touch of zinc with biotin. Biotin is very safe, zinc you don't want too much for too long, it gets out of balance with copper.
