Hi Evelyn
Thanks so much for your comments. We also suspected that the underlying infection was a fungal one - hence the inclusion of ketoconazole in our "control" ointment. Perhaps the reason why our ointment was so successful was because the cases were mostly more advanced cases with an underlying Staphylococcal infection. Our active ingredient, kunzea oil, also has antifungal activity.
Is pastern dermatitis/greasy heel/mud fever (what do you mostly call it in NZ?) much of a problem over there? Are you North Island or South? I lived in Christchurch for a year - enjoyed it a lot.
