WHAT IS ALLERMYL®

Understanding Atopic Dermatitis (Educational Section)

topic dermatitis is a chronic, inflammatory allergic skin disease commonly seen in pets. It is characterized by:

  • Persistent itching (pruritus) 

  • Redness and inflammation 

  • Recurrent infections 

  • Epidermal barrier damage 

When the skin barrier is weakened, it allows allergens, irritants, and microbes to penetrate more easily—worsening symptoms and triggering flare-ups.

Topical dermatological management, including medicated shampoos like ALLERMYL®, plays a key role in

  • Removing allergens from the skin surface 

  • Supporting epidermal lipid restoration 

  • Improving skin hydration 

  • Helping maintain long-term control of chronic skin conditions
