Malaseb Medicated Shampoo

Malaseb is registered to treat Seborrhoeic Dermatitis (Skin Infection involving bacteria and yeast) and Dermatophytosis (Ringworm/ Fungal Infection).

How often should I apply Malaseb? In the case of seborrhoeic dermatitis, Malaseb should be used twice weekly when the infection is active. You may be able to reduce the frequency of bathing to once weekly or fortnightly once the infection is under control. In most circumstances, long term therapy is needed as ‘curing’ the cause is not always possible. In the case of ringworm, twice weekly bathing is recommended to clean the coat of spores and infection. Therapy is typically needed for 8 to 12 weeks.

HOT TIPS
 Leave the shampoo on for the full 10 minutes wherever possible.  Always make sure the coat is thoroughly wet before applying Malaseb, this will make lathering and spreading easier.  Using a sponge can help to spread the shampoo well. The sponge also holds water which again helps to ensure the coat is adequately wet during application.  A damp cloth, with a little diluted foam can be used to clean the face.
