Full Question:
Hi Cindy, took my dog Nika to vet for skin problems. She said she has subcutaneous cyst. Her pores aren't releasing the natural oil so it is plugging leaving a lump on her bum and some are scabbing over. Is there anything different for shampooing or combing that can be done to prevent it. What do you wash your dogs with? Some people use baby shampoo and then conditioner, others use medicated, what is the best at least for you. Thanks so much Cindy.Michelle

I really like this shampoo but I don’t think bathing will prevent sebaceous cysts from forming, I think a lot of it depends on the genetics & age of the dog and may be linked to diet.
I hope this helps.
