In the case of mumps and eczema, stubbornly adhering scabs that stick to the hair often cover the affected areas of skin. This prevents effective treatment of the underlying pathogens. The extremely thin oils in KERALIT KERALYSIN Ointment infiltrate and soften these scab layers and loosen them. These can then be gently removed without causing mechanical irritation or injury to the skin, often after just one application overnight. Additionally prescribed disinfectants or healing preparations can then achieve their optimum effect. KERALYSIN Ointment has proven to be very useful, especially for Friesians or other horses with long hangings in the fetlock bend, as there is no need to remove the hangings.
