How to cure skin disease in dogs?

Successful treatment of skin disorders requires identification of the underlying cause. Not surprisingly, many treatments for skin diseases are applied directly to the skin surface (topically). It may be the preferred method of treatment for some diseases or beneficial in addition to systemic treatment (medications taken by mouth or injected and distributed throughout the body). Examples of products applied directly to the skin include antibiotic ointments, corticosteroid preparations, medicated shampoos, and topical insecticides. Local ointments, gels, and sprays are best used sparingly so that your dog does not lick off excessive amounts. Closely follow your veterinarian's administration instructions for any topical medications. Systemic drugs may be needed to treat some disorders. These include whole-body antibiotics, antifungals, antiparasitics, hormones, antihistamines, corticosteroids, and other anti-inflammatory drugs. As with any treatment program, make sure that you read and understand all directions for using the prescribed product, including how to apply or give it, how much to use, and how often it should be administered.

Skin problems must therefore be the subject of a rigorous care during which the vet will gather a maximum of information and will carry out any appropriate samples and additional examinations in order to find the precise origin of the disorder. The vet may then recommend regular local care, use of suitable shampoos, an appropriate diet. Allergy is managed through adapted medical, food and hygienic measures. Skin diseases or dermatoses generate a high percentage of veterinary consultations. If the symptoms are general enough, the causes can be very diverse. An allergic dog remains so for life, unless it is desensitized, which can sometimes allow remission in rare cases.
