Shampoo/conditioner For Malassezia Dermatitis

[DZaak]

My vet just diagnoses by dog with Malassezia Dermatitis (yeast based skin allergy).

I was prescribed Mediderm Shampoo. I asked if I could use Oatmeal conditioner, and she said yes.

Anyway, is this safe? Now that I have Mediderm, I was thinking it would be better to condition with the accompanying conditioner from the same brand. I only just bought a 1L bottle of Fido's Oatmeal Conditioner which may take ages to get through, and it seems like the biggest for me to just throw it out (or set it aside and never use it).

Thanks

Oatmeal conditioner is fine after using Mediderm or Malaseb, it is soothing and helps put moisture back into the skin.

I personally prefer Aloveen conditioner, I don't really like Fido's products.

Thanks for the advice.

After finishing the Fido's, I'll consider Aloveen, or Nutriderm (same brand as Mediderm).

Cheers!

Nutriderm Conditioner is not like a typical conditioner and is specifically designed to work with and complement both Nutriderm and Mediderm Shampoos. It contains ceramides and essential fatty acids which actually help form a protective skin barrier as well as providing excellent moisturizing. It also includes colloidal oatmeal which penetrates more readily.

The trick is to use it then just barely rinse it out. It can also be diluted in a spray bottle and applied between washes which again, helps the skin barrier.

If in doubt, give Paw a ring - they are very helpful.

Sags :)
