Ulcerative dermatitis is a skin disorder in
granulomatous inflammation, may be present.[1] In cases where topical treatment alone does not resolve the dermatitis and irritants are not known, a secondary bacterial, fungal or yeast infection might be present and may require an anti-fungal or antibiotics to be prescribed by the veterinarian to affect a cure.[1]
In rats, this skin disorder may be observed on the neck and head, often secondary to skin trauma from scratches or fighting.[2]
