Dermaclear
Skin itching is one of the most commonly seen problems in small animals. Some types of pruritus exhibit skin eruptions, and the animal's skin can feel hot to the touch. Papules and pustules can coalesce into large scabs, which sometimes bleed after scratching or licking, feel irritable and have mild to moderate odor.
The Western pathogenesis of skin itching is very complicated in small animals. It is similarly complicated in Chinese herbal medicine. This formula treats pruritus and inflammation when the condition is due to the TCVM diagnosis of Blood Heat.
The formula relieves inflammation, detoxifies in cases of infection, relieves itching, minimizes scabby eruptions, nourishes the blood and helps calm anxiety by increasing the smooth flow of qi and blood.
