Derm Stop is a cream based on benzyl benzoate, a useful ingredient in the treatment of horses and ponies affected by Recurrent Summer Dermatitis (DER).
This skin disease, which typically affects equines, is seasonal and allergic and is characterized by the appearance of extremely itchy lesions, resulting from the bite of insects, very similar to midges, belonging to the Culicoides genus. The areas most affected are the head, withers, shoulders, rump, chest, abdominal region and the base of the tail.
The lesions are typical of the allergic reaction: initially small but very itchy papules form, which induce the horse to scratch; due to this self-trauma, the lesions worsen, resulting in alopecia or broken hair, along with abrasions and scabs, which can be subject to secondary bacterial infections. The pathology develops mainly in spring and slowly regresses in autumn, but every year it recurs with increasingly more accentuated symptomatic pictures. For prophylactic purposes, in subjects sensitive to DER, it is recommended to start applying the product in spring before the onset of symptoms, continuing the treatment until the end of summer.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
Benzyl Benzoate in the horse's DER helps reduce irritation in the affected areas, control bacterial infections and keep insects away, a starting point in controlling the pathology.
HOW TO USE
Spread the product on the areas to be treated, massaging vigorously against the direction of hair growth, so that the product penetrates the skin. Repeat the treatment 2 times a day during the first week. Gradually reduce the frequency of treatments until reaching a weekly application.
COMPOSITION
Purified water, lanolin, 25% benzyl benzoate
