Muddy marvel de-scab worked very well.

Fucidin H cream if u can get a hold if it
My horse had mag mudrash round his fetlocks on back legs put it on at night for 2 days & all scabs gone yesterday
I use conotrane cream on a daily basis 2 protect the skin- just rub some in to his fetlock area then smear it all over his legs so he gets turned out looking like he has 4 white stockings!

You can soak his lower legs in a solution of soda crystals for 5-10 mins. If he has long feathers I prefer to clip them to help in the healing process.

Zinc & castor oil cream, sold as nappy cream in Boots, works really well. They normally soften up and come off in a day when we use it.

I have had the same problem with my thoroughbred, I used Hilton Herbs Tea Tree Cream to soften the scabs and keep the skin supple. I have also used the Dermolene Soothing wound cream which also forms a protective barrier for muddy conditions.

I used a product called Equi-Oxcide for my mares mudfever. We had been battling it for 3 months and got this product from a vet after everything else we tried and they gave me failed. Within 2 weeks the mudfever was almost gone.
You paint the product on every 3 days and leave the scabs alone. The scabs fall off once the bacteria has been killed by the product. Product worked a treat on my mare.
