Altering dietary factors responsible for sensitization and phenotypic expression of the reaction., Malassezia Dermatitis cause Malasse pachydermaris, Pyoderma non-pruritic Demodiciosis Endocrine Primary Keratinization disorders, Diagnosis History and clinical signs may be indicative of the disease. Contact restriction is a way of diagnosing the condition, but is often difficult to perform. Re-exposure to the allergen and re-emergence of clinical signs would then be diagnostic. Patch tests are rarely performed on animals, but include applying substances to an area for 48 hours and then removing and assessing for papules and plaques at these sites.
