Abstract

Shampoos are used routinely by a large number of veterinarians to treat skin diseases. Skin pH is affected by shampoos, however, known to occur. In order to evaluate the effect of shampoos on skin surface pH, we performed the measurement of skin pH using skin pH meter PH900 in five healthy mixed breed dogs. The seven commercial shampoos: Humilac, Sebocalm, Sebolytics, Etiderm, PEroxyderm, HyLyt and Zn-7 Derm were included in this study. The anatomical sites, right thorax was the highest pH (7.66$\pm$0.10), and the lowest pH (6.20$\pm$0.23) was left pinna. A statiscally significant decrease in skin pH was found 7 minutes after application of Humilac, Sebocalm, Etiderm, Peroxyderm (p<0.01) and Sebolytics (p<0.05). After 17 minutes of application skin surface pH was inclined to increase in every shampoos but the degree of increase was slight at 77 minutes. No statiscally significant differences were found in HyLy-T and Zn-7 Derm, but skin pH was normal range (6.2-7.8) after application. Throughout the experiment skin surface pH was maintained above pH 7.0 in detergent. The commercial shampoos, Humilac, Sebocalm, Etiderm, had the decreasing effect on skin surface pH in dogs. The other four shampoos maintain the skin pH normal range. The skin pH meter PH 900 was found simple and useful for skin pH measurement.

개의 피부질환은 발생이 매우 높은 질환으로 다양한 원인에 의해 발생하나 대부분 장기간의 치료가 요구되거나 완치가 되지 않고 평생 치료를 받아야 하는 경우가 많다. 샴푸는 원발성 원인 치료에 보조적으로 사용되고 있으나 처방샴푸 치료의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 본 연구는 피부표면 pH에 대한 다양한 샴퓨의 영향을 알아보기 위해 샴퓨를 정상견의 피부에 적용한 후 피부 pH 측정기를 통해 pH를 측정하였으며 적용된 샴푸는 Humilac, Sebocalm, Sebolytics, Etiderm, PEroxyderm, HyLy-T, Zn-7를 이용하였다. 해부학적 위치에 대한 피부 pH는 우측 흉부가 7.66$\pm$0.10으로 가장 높았고 좌측 이개는 6.20$\pm$0.23으로 가장 낮았으나 모두 정상 범위 (6.2-7.8)이었다. 샴푸 적용후 7분에 Humilac (p<0.01), Sebocalm(p<0.01), Etiderm(p<0.01), Peroxyderm(p<0.01), 과 Sebolytics (p<0.05)가 detergent에 비해 유의하게 낮았으며 Humilac과 Sebocalm은 정상범위 보다 낮게 나타났다. HyLy-T와 Zn-7 Derm은 적용후 17분에는 샴푸를 적용한 모든 피부의 pH는 증가하였으며 77분에 다소 증가하였다. 본 실험을 통해 처방 샴푸는 피부의 pH를 낮추었고 그 효과는 즉시 나타났으며 피부 pH 측정기는 피부의 pH측정에 실제적이며 간단한 방법으로 생각된다.
