Dog Skin Rash After Hair Removal: Effective Solutions
The real causes of "clipper burn" may include several factors:
1. The hair may have been shaved too short, exposing the skin directly to the environment, leading to an allergic reaction triggered by external stimuli.
2. The razor may have been too hot, causing minor burns to the delicate skin protected by the hair's layer, which is known as Clipper Burn in English.
3. The razor might have been too close to the hair roots, tugging at the pores during the shaving process, causing capillary bleeding at the hair roots, leading to redness in the skin. This is similar to the reddening that occurs after shaving or tweezing body hair.
4. A dull blade can also cause similar issues.
5. The term "clipper burn" might also refer to a rare possibility of someone or a pet being allergic to certain metals used in the blades.
6. Some dogs naturally have sensitive skin, and even slight force can trigger an allergic reaction.
Here are some suggestions for sensitive cases:
1. If you notice "clipper burn" after shaving, immediately use an antiallergic bath solution to relieve the symptoms. Sensifree Shampoo is recommended.
2. Apply a cream locally to alleviate the sensitivity.
3. Wear an Elizabethan collar to prevent scratching.
4. Next time, avoid shaving too short.
5. Pay special attention to sensitive areas such as the face, throat, feet, and around the genitals and anus, and leave hair in these areas.
6. Be particularly mindful of Poodles, as their cheeks are the most common site for clipper rashes.
7. White and lightcolored dogs are more susceptible to clipper burns, so be cautious.
8. If your dog frequently gets shaved or has sensitive skin, use a moisturizing and nourishing bath product, such as propolis moisturizing bath solution.
