Seborrheic dermatitis is a dog skin disorder that starts in areas where there are large
oil glands: the face, behind ears, and
the scalp. Seborrheic dermatitis is characterized
by inflamed scalp, greasy, waxy scale,
and sometimes reddened skin rashes. Seborrheic dermatitis starts gradually. It appears as a skin disorder similar to dandruff, but with severely scalp- inflammation, itching, or hair loss. To keep the seborrheic dermatitis under control, you should eliminate yeast and yeast infection promoting foods from the dog food diet. Wash your dog with Neem shampoo to moisten the scalp, apply Neem oil topically several times per day. It will relieve the itching, and supports healing. Drinking Neem tea for several days will ease seborrheic dermatitis. Shampoos containing zinc, salicylic acid, sulphur, or tar also may help to reduce seborrheic dermatitis. Omega fatty acids, zinc, iron, biotin, vitamins A, C, E, D, and B complex, are suggested nutritional vitamin supplements for seborrheic dermatitis. Certain drugs (methyldopa, anti-seizure medications) can worsen seborrheic dermatitis. Pet medication Boost the immune system Dog food diet for skin disorders
