Eczema is an itchy and inflammatory skin condition which may occur in dogs of all ages and breeds. Moist or dry eczema may be a troubling condition to treat, but it is essential to address this type of skin condition early to avoid secondary bacterial infections and pain.
Treatment options for eczema in dogs include reducing itchy and painful symptoms, addressing inflammation of the skin, eliminating secondary bacterial and fungal infections, removing the cause of the condition from the dog’s environment, and prescribing medications which will reduce the dog’s immune response.
