Mud fever

[Cracker4]

Hello,
Our horse has mud fever, some scabs and the skin is very red and he is quite sore. Should I apply cream? Should we put a dry dressing on at night? Should we just leave him in the stable and not apply anything? Any advice is much appreciated.

Do you have pictures?

I'd try washing his legs with Nizoral Shampoo - you can buy it at the chemist - its amazing for MudFever - dilute with hand hot water, work well into the affected area and beyond, leave 20 mins, then rinse. Usually find the mudfever goes within days. Often only had to wash once.
