Educational Overview
Greasy Heel & Rain Rot in Equines
Greasy heel (also called mud fever) and rain rot (also known as rain scald or dermatophilosis) are skin conditions in horses commonly associated with prolonged moisture, mud, or wet weather.
They involve skin inflammation, irritation, scabbing, crusting, hair loss, and sometimes discharge, often affecting the lower legs, back, or rump.
These conditions arise when the skin barrier is weakened, allowing bacteria or fungi to contribute to infection. Risk factors include wet environments, poor drainage, skin trauma, compromised immunity, or inadequate grooming.
Management focuses on keeping affected areas clean and dry, improving environmental conditions, and seeking veterinary advice if lesions are painful, spreading, or persistent.
