but gah liverpool cream I will never forget the sarcoid surgery I say (rugby ball sized growths!

) Then the vet applied liverpool cream and I just remember her saying not to go near the wounds as it could make your fingers drop off!! im sure she was over-exxagerating but still..
 
I used the liverpool cream on my horse fred. Huge (size of dinner plate) flattish sarcoid in his groin area. Awful thing to do, as with each day of putting cream on more skin came off and whole area was raw and weeping within a week! Poor poor horse. Bute etc. Sarcoid did go, but I vow I will never give fred that again if it returns - would look into freezing etc- as he almost gave up, if you know what i mean.

very invasive treatment if its a big sarcoid, but did the job.

glad your horse is better
 
this was such a tiny nodule my horse didn't notice. i had to sedate him the 1st day to clip around the area as he doesn't like clippers, but after that he was fine - i applied a total of 5 treatments and he didn't mind me doing any of them despite it being on the inside of hs hindleg and he's very touchy so i'm sure he would have let me know if it hurt. it did cause some skin scalding on his belly and opposite hindleg where it rubbed off the sarcoid when he lay down at night. i suppose ideally i would have applied it in the morning before he went out in the field, but i couldn't get down the yard in the mornings. anyway, it all worked ok in the end, so just hoping he doesn't grow anymore now!
 
Star, my horse's looks almost identical to yours. Mine started the liverpool treatment at the beg of Jan this year, it took a long time to drop off (I was so tempted to pick it but resisted

) and now is just a pink patch of skin, like a newly formed scab. Her's was on a none hairy part of her inside back leg, and she also wasnt that bothered with the treatment. Fingers crossed for both of us that they dont return.
