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 include allergy, including pollens & grasses. Parasites, such as fleas & Hormonal problems.

Features & benefits:

• For primary and secondary Seborrhoeic dermatitis.
• Removal of secondary infection allows the primary condition to be diagnosed.
• An aid in the treatment of Dermatophyte infections.
• Sterilises the coat of Dermatophyte spores reducing the spread of infection and contamination to the environment.
