Malaseb is registered to treat Seborrhoeic Dermatitis and Dermatophytosis. Seborrhoeic Dermatitis is a skin infection involving bacteria (Staphylococcus) and yeast (Malassezia). Dermatophytosis is the scientific name for ringworm - a fungal infection, despite the name.

It's normal for dogs to have low numbers of resident bacteria and yeast on the skin's surface. When there's a disruption to the skin's natural ecosystem, these bacteria and yeasts can overgrow, causing disease. Common causes of disruption include:

• Allergy, including to pollens, grasses, foods (meats), and fleas
• Parasites, such as fleas, mites and lice
• Hormonal problems
• Conformational issues, such as deep skin folds creating sweaty crevices
