Mallenders/sallenders advice needed

What are they? Can food intolerance cause them? (Recently put him on speedy beat)

Does this look like one?

It's chronic dermatitis - Google it and a whole raft of info will appear. Common in 'feathered' horses and needs a prolonged effort to clear it up.

Well my old vet book says. Wash with mercurial soap and dry.
Apply ointment such propamidine cream,chrysarobin ointment or saliclic acid ointment??????

My sec D has always had it behind his knees (doesn't get mudfever), and once a week I sponge it with dilute hibiscrub, and remove as many 'paintbrushes' as I can, and then rub E45 cream in really well.
This keeps it at bay, and at times even clears it up for a while.
