giraffez Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I was wondering what maleseb shampoo is used for? Why would you use it opposed to aloveen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Malaseb is a medicated shampoo with active ingredients in there to kill stuff like malassezia (sp) on skin, some fungi and bacteria. edit to say , it is not ,AFAIK, recommended for everyday use- it for use with diagnosed skin conditions. Aloveen is mainly a gentle oat/aloe shampoo- no anti fungals/bacterial action. Edited March 15, 2011 by persephone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussienot Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I found this on the petinsurancepro website (googled Is Malaseb shampoo safe for human use) and it appears not. "Although some of the ingredients found in this product are also found in products for humans, Malaseb is only for dogs, cats, and horses, and should not be used for humans. " It didn't say why not, different PH balance, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raineth Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 yeah you are even meant to wear gloves when you wash you dog with it. But I don't and haven't had any problems that I know of from not wearing gloves. But it is quite awful and definitely not something I'd want to try on myself! maybe ask you chemist for something for yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytmate Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Use a human anti-fungal wash. I have washed plenty of dogs in Head and Shoulders, it's cheaper than Malaseb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) Question...can malaseb be used to treat seborrhoeic dermatitis in people? lol...Im seriously considering trying it so im after an honest answer Yes! I have done it before and it worked well for a while but then start drying the skin around it too much. I got my Mum on to it and she used it no worries for her dermatitis on her hands. You need to leave it on for ten minutes though as it doesn't start acting until 7 minutes. I have also used it on my hair years ago. When I went on quit smoking drugs my scalp got scabby and itchy so I used Malaseb.. eta: I should add that this is my own personal opinion/experiences!

GoldenGirl85 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 haha lol, such a mixed response Ive been very tempted, but so far Ive been using a new cream that seems to be doing the trick, so not resorting to Malaseb just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajtek Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) Do a test Wash your dog in Malasep and see how soft and lovely your hands are! With all the humidity and heat my bullies need extra Malasep baths (recommended by their vet). I've been bathing them at least once a week and haven't grown hairs on my hands, developed any bruising or bumps. It's great stuff. (Neotopic H is another good product. We use it on humans all the time and I am yet to find anything better ) Edited March 16, 2011 by HonBun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGirl85 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 By the by, Selsun shampoo is a human shampoo and they also recommend you use gloves when you use that (on yourself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvus Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 My mother's dog has chronic yeast problems in his ears. A Malaseb solution is used to manage it. Works better than any ear cleaner and gives the poor pup instant relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giraffez Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 i brought a bottle and they are quite strong. Am i suppose to dilute it with water first, it doesn't mention to do this in the directions? My hand felt a slight burning sensation after 10 mins, not sure what that means for my dog.

I think thats why the bottle tells you to wear gloves...dog skin is different to human skin, so unless your dog has had a reaction (red skin, itchy, generally irritated) then Im sure its fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfoundlandandus Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 My problem with a lot of human ones is that while they are marketed for skin conditions, a lot also include ingredients that are known to cause reactions (SLS, SLES etc) I had shingles years ago then neuralgia. Went through so many things, even medication can cause skin problems. It wasnt till my daughter used it on her baby I decided to try it, that was 4 years ago . I dont use anything, else no shampoo no soap nothing only QV products and Curash products .QV bath oil was the first I used because it was recommended for the baby bath then I graduated to QV gentle wash ,then QV Flare up when I need to and I use all on my dogs The only trouble I find is its hard to use them in the shower as they are all liquid so I have had to have a lot more baths I tried the QV cake? /bar (shaped in the same form as soap )but since it doesnt wash properly for me I gave up on that one . Try a very small bottle of one you want, you can always contact me on newfoundlandandus @gmail.com I hope I was of some help Jenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
