What is Derma Support Gold Used For?

A species of yeast called Malassezia pachydermatis is a normal organism found on the skin and inside the ears of all pets . If this organism proliferates too much, an overgrowth occurs, causing a variety of symptoms that can be uncomfortable and also change the appearance and smell of the pets skin and coat.

The condition often starts with minor itching and red patches on the skin and progresses over time to chronic itching, thickened skin and hair loss. The excessive yeast causes an increase in oil production on the skin so you may see a discharge and the coat will often appear greasy. There may be a crust on the skin and an offensive odor.

The itching can be a constant discomfort to the pet. The regions most affected are places where the skin creases, so canines can commonly be seen trying to relieve itching between the paw pads (gnawing at their paws) and scratching their ears. It may also affect the anal area, folds of the nose and eyelids, around the neck and the armpits.

Yeast overgrowth can cause:

• Intense itching
• Skin irritation and inflammation (especially around the ears, paw pads, between the toes, folds of the nose, anal area, neck and the armpits)
• Skin redness
• Sores
• Sticky discharge
• Hair loss
• Foul-smelling skin
• Yellowish / greenish discharge from ears with a musty smell
