WHAT KISKIN OINTMENT TREATS
-
Ringworm (Dermatophytosis) — Microsporum and Trichophyton species
-
Yeast infections — Malassezia pachydermatis dermatitis
- Secondary bacterial skin infections associated with fungal involvement
- Patchy hair loss, crusty skin lesions, inflamed and itchy skin spots
- Interdigital (between-the-toes) fungal infections
HOW TO APPLY KISKIN OINTMENT
- Clean the affected area gently with a mild antiseptic wash — pat dry thoroughly
- Trim surrounding fur if long, to ensure direct contact with skin surface
- Apply a thin, even layer of Kiskin Ointment over the lesion and a small margin of surrounding healthy skin
- Rub in gently
- Wear disposable gloves during application — ringworm is a zoonotic infection that can spread to humans
- Use an Elizabethan collar (cone) after application to prevent licking
HOW OFTEN TO APPLY
-
Twice daily — morning and evening
- Minimum 3–4 weeks of consistent treatment for fungal infections
- Do not stop when the skin appears better — fungal infections frequently relapse if the course is cut short
- Your vet may advise continuing for one additional week after apparent resolution
OINTMENT VS LOTION — WHICH FORMAT?
The ointment has a thicker, greasier consistency that provides prolonged contact time on the skin and a degree of moisture barrier — particularly suited for dry, crusty, or localised lesions. The Kiskin Lotion is thinner and spreads more easily over larger surface areas and skin folds. Your vet will recommend the appropriate format based on the location and nature of the affected area.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- Do not use near the eyes or on mucous membranes
- Prevent licking for at least 20–30 minutes after application
- Ringworm is zoonotic — always wear gloves and wash hands after application
- If no improvement after 2 weeks of consistent treatment, return to your vet
- Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight
- Keep out of reach of children and other pets

Frequently Asked Questions — Kiskin Antifungal Ointment 20g for Dogs
What skin conditions is Kiskin Ointment used to treat in dogs? ▼
Kiskin Ointment is a topical antifungal and antibacterial preparation used to treat fungal skin infections (ringworm / dermatophytosis), yeast infections (Malassezia), and associated secondary bacterial infections on the skin of dogs. It is applied to patchy hair loss, crusty skin, itchy inflamed spots, and interdigital infections. Confirm the causative organism with your vet before starting treatment.
How should Kiskin Ointment be applied? ▼
Clean the affected area gently and pat dry. Trim surrounding fur to allow direct skin contact. Apply a thin, even layer over the lesion and a small margin of surrounding skin. Rub in gently. Wear disposable gloves — ringworm is zoonotic and can spread to humans. Use an Elizabethan collar after application to prevent licking for at least 20–30 minutes.
How often should Kiskin Ointment be applied? ▼
Twice daily — morning and evening — for the full duration prescribed by your vet. Most fungal skin infections require a minimum of 3–4 weeks of consistent treatment. Do not stop when the skin looks better — fungal infections frequently relapse if the course is cut short. Your vet may advise continuing for one additional week after apparent resolution.
Is Kiskin Ointment safe if my dog licks the treated area? ▼
Licking should be prevented. Use an Elizabethan collar after application to stop your dog from licking the ointment off — this reduces efficacy and may cause mild gastrointestinal upset. Prevent licking for at least 20–30 minutes after application to allow adequate absorption. If persistent licking cannot be controlled, inform your vet.
How long before I see improvement with Kiskin Ointment? ▼
Visible improvement — reduced redness, less itching, early hair regrowth at lesion margins — typically begins within 1–2 weeks of consistent twice-daily application. Complete resolution may take 4–8 weeks depending on infection depth and extent. If there is no improvement after 2 weeks, consult your vet — the infection may require oral antifungal treatment in addition to topical therapy.
