===Geotrichosis===

===Malassezia pachydermidis===
<FlashCard questions="2">
|q1=Where in the body is ''Malassezia pachydermidis'' usually found?
|a1=
*Oily areas
*Ear canal
*Skin
|l1=Yeast-like fungi#Malassezia pachydermatis
|q2=What is the pathogenesis of ''Malassezia pachydermatis'' infections?
|a2=
*Malassezia spp are part of the normal skin flora in many animal species and overgrowth most commonly occurs secondary to a change in skin microclimate due to underlying disease processes like food allergy, atopic dermatitis, endocrinopathies or keratinization defects
Regional lesions on the muzzle, ears, interdigital area and the perianal region
*Infection can also be generalised
*Erythematous, hyperpigmented, lichenified and scaly lesions with alopecia
