In South Africa certain medical conditions are taboo, preventing consumers from purchasing certain dermatological products. For example, many female consumers are too shy and embarrassed to go to a pharmacy to purchase vaginal antifungal products.
The lines between dermocosmetics and dermatologicals are blurring, and often, consumers are turning to cosmetic brands first before looking for dermatologicals with active ingredients to treat their skin and hair conditions. While they are not necessarily unsuitable, especially for certain types of skin conditions, dermatologicals are well-placed and established to achieve more rapid results.
Dermatologists are seen as a luxury service by most South Africans unless the condition is at a critical point and needs immediate assistance or is being covered by medical insurance. As a result, many skin ailments are left untreated or are treated using inappropriate products.
