Just wondering if either of these work to treat mud fever with?

I'm a skinflint and want to avoid paying ££££ for a horsey product when something else may do the job just as well
 
I haven't found anything better than nettex muddy marvel I'm afraid. I've tried everything else, expensive and cheap!
 
Udder cream as a barrier cream make sure it's the stuff that smells of antiseptic. Fabulous stuff & makes your hands lovely & soft too.

If they get mud fever I use aqueous cream with a couple drops of tea tree oil in to sweat the scabs off under cling film
 
Look at your horses diet. My hairy cob suffered for years, trying every lotion & potion available.
Put him on a good balancer with some linseed & a few months later I stopped having to treat it & it never returned
 
I mix cow salve (Vaseline type barrier stuff) with udder cream (soft treats the inflammation) together - works really well, both not horsey so well priced. we've not had any for years but the weather this year seems to be making them all prone.
