Tiny bumps/scabs on face

[Madam_max]

My bloody horse has come in today with loads of tiny lumps under the skin, they feel a bit scabby. She has also a little strip of hair missing. This has happened overnight. She has been in some longer grass, so I am guessing it's from there. Any ideas what I can out on it. I have a flippin show on Sunday and she's removed a srip of hair!!!

I have no idea but sounds similar to what mine came in with a couple of weeks ago but i just ignored it

 

[Madam_max]

Prob, what I will do

I wonder if she has a sugar/cereal intolerance??sometimes causes funny skin reactions. Might explain her wierd behaviour this summer???
Could just be some simple fly bites though..

My horse came in with that. Got some E45 to put on and worked really well. If you havent got some of that try sudocream that also works well

 

[Madam_max]

Who knows??? I'll see how it goes. I'm not calling SC again

Read somewhere that Sudocrem is a 'banned substance'. There's something in it that shows up in blood tests and has led to horses not being able to compete - who'd have thought it?!

My ned is Miss Scabby, but she spends all day picking herself blackberries!

Ralphs got a scabby head/nose I think its because he buries his head in nettles all day and then itches due to nettle rash

I used sudo cream, not heard that its banned, if its ok for a babies bum, I'm sure its ok for a ned

did you have a fly mask on by the way as some horses are allergic to the type of fabbric used
