Does your dog have black skin disease (Alopecia X)?

Ermine alopecia is no more mysterious than the medical term for hair loss. The disease itself, also known as black skin disease, is poorly understood. This condition in animals is called alopecia X because the cause of this condition is still relatively unknown, and treatment is mostly done through trial and error (or, as some would say, by chance). This disease can easily be confused with “Cushing’s disease.”

The disease initially manifests itself as hair loss, sometimes accompanied by itching of the skin, sometimes not, followed by bald patches, then blackened or dark gray skin. Eventually, the dog may become completely bald with a deep charcoal gray skin. The dog often smells very bad.

The dogs mentioned above had alopecia X. Many dogs with this condition have no other symptoms and the condition can be considered cosmetic. This is actually the approach of many veterinarians, who suggest that a dog wear a sweater to keep them warm. The condition can be genetic, or more precisely, a predisposition or predisposition to the condition can be part of a dog's genetic makeup. And it is true that some breeds are more prone to black skin disease than others, with Spitz leading the way.

Black skin disease can manifest in other ways and in other areas, often starting on the belly and inside the hind legs. This condition is usually associated with general itching and skin rashes. There may be an unpleasant odor, which may lead the owner to bathe the dog more often, which worsens the condition and makes the puppy itch even more. When itching is present, veterinarians will often prescribe steroids (cortisone or prednisone) to reduce inflammation. Please note that we never recommend the use of steroids, as they disrupt the dog’s natural immune system and will exacerbate the condition. Additionally, the use of steroids will encourage the invasion of mange mites and bacteria, which can have serious consequences.
