Abstract
Various commercial shampoos were frequently prescribed for dermatologicstherapy in small animal practice. Skin surface sebum affected by the shampoos, however, was not evaluated routinely. In order to evaluate the skin surface sebum for the exact prescription of shampoos methods to measure skin surface sebum of shampoos are needed. This study was undertaken to evaluate the skin surface sebum effect of shampoo on canine skin using sebometry. Five healthy dogs were applied with 3 commercial shampoos: Sebocalm, Sebolytics, and Benzoyl peroxide. Sebocalm had a great effect on skin surface seoum and normal saline also affected the skin sebum. Sebolytics and benzoyl peroxide had a moderate effect of skin sebum. The lowest effect was shown in detergent. Therefore, Sebumeter was considered a good and convenient apparatus for skin sebum measurement in order to evaluate the effect of shampoos on skin sebum. None of the products tested had any negative effect on the skin barrier function.
