Dermcare Malaseb Medicated Shampoo 250ml

Description

MALASEB MEDICATED SHAMPOO – 250ML BOTTLE

Malaseb is registered to treat Seborrhoeic Dermatitis and Dermatophytosis. Seborrhoeic Dermatitis is the scientific name for a skin infection involving bacteria (Staphylococcus) and yeast (Malassezia). Dermatophytosis is the scientific name for ringworm, a condition which is not due to worms (like the name suggests) but is in fact a fungal infection.

It is normal in dogs to have low numbers of resident bacteria and yeasts on the skins surface. When there is a disruption to the skin’s natural ecosystem these bacteria and yeasts can overgrow causing disease.

Reasons for disruption to the natural balance

# Allergy, including to pollens, grasses, foods (meats) and fleas

# Parasites, such as fleas, mites and lice

# Hormonal problems

# Conformational problems such as deep skin folds, making sweaty crevices
