Hi all,

These are coming up all over my Shetland pony, this is after the scab has been removed, the scabs come away easily but more seem to be appearing and getting bigger.

Any ideas on what this is?!

Mine has something a bit odd like this. I thought it was a sort of heat rash but vet said bacterial infection. He had 10 days of ABs and has to be washed every 3 days in Malaseb shampoo. It's clearing up really well. I had to clip to get to it all though... Since I've been using the shampoo his has dried up but it's leaving little bald patches where the scab/hair falls off.

It will go away on its own eventually. If you don't wish to wait ask your chemist for a fungacidal cream (the sort you would get for yourself for thrush) and apply directly to the affected areas..
