Moist Eczema

Eczema
Dog skin irritations such as Eczema are itchy and may look different from one dog to another. While some dogs get dry, scaly skin along with a rash, others may get oozing bumps all over the body. Moist Eczema or more commonly known as hot spots are often accompanied by a yeast infection.

It is believed that Eczema or clinically known as Atopic Dermatitis, is an immune disorder caused by an environmental sensitivity including dustmites, chemicals, fumes or other industrial pollutants.

Conventional veterinarians treat moist eczema or hot spots with shampoos, antibiotics and cortisone. The holistic approach is to enhance the immune system with an improved diet, apply potassium permanganate compresses, primrose oil and Neem Leaf Tea are often added to the dog’s diet until cured. Fortunately, Eczema is cured rather quickly.
