Dermcare Malaseb Medicated Shampoo 500ml

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).

Reasons for disruption to the natural balance:

• Allergies caused bypollen, grass, foods (meat) and fleas.
• Parasites, such as fleas, mites and lice.
• Hormonal problems
• Conformational problems such as deep skin folds, making sweaty crevices.

How does Malaseb help?

• Kills the micro-organisms, helping to keep the numbers of yeasts and bacteria at manageablelevels.
• Removes excess scale and oils, commonly produced when the skin is infected
• Removes allergens such as pollenwhich can be caught in fur or on skin causing irritation

How often should you apply Malaseb?

In the case of seborrhoeic dermatitis, Malaseb should be used twice weekly when the infection is active. You may be able to reduce the frequency of bathing to once per week or fortnight once the infection is under control. In most circumstances long term therapy is needed as ??curing' the cause of the imbalance is not always possible.
In the case of ringworm, twice weekly bathing is recommended to clean the coat of spores and infection. Therapy is typically needed for 8 to 12 weeks.
