My mare developed a bald patch, quite large about the size of a two euro coin, on her forehead (above her right eye) about the end of August. I was away at the time so did not see, but was told by experienced family members watching her that she had not cut herself, just developed a mysterious bald patch.

I wasnt unduely worried, thinking maybe it was a rub and waited for the hair to regrow only it did not. No other similar marks have developed since. It was washed with nizoral and hibi at various times and she has been treated for lice. I have also been applying megatek rebuilder for about a month religiously and altho some strands of hair have regrown, it is still very bald. The skin is smooth and healthy. I cant imagine how she could have damaged any hair follicles if there was no injury yet the hair is not growing back properly!

has anyone experienced anything like this? Im really annoyed about it, being on her head and she being white with black skin it looks really awful :(

not too clear, but gives you an idea...

Any advice/suggestions gratefully recieved!! Im stumped.
 
I did, tried that before the megatek but it had no effect. It was only after the megatek that a few whisps of hair started to grow.
 
Our horse has a similar patch on his neck, a friend of ours gave her a cream to try on it and there had been some hair growth, can't recall name of cream
