I feel like I’ve tried it all, my gelding gets it so bad on his back legs, I’ve been washing at least every other day with a medicated rain rot/skin disorder soap which says to leave it on for 10 mins then rinse - any other remedies to battle this before it gets worse? I’ve tried a lot of stuff - mtg, listerine etc.

I used shoo flys very successfully last year. They all started with bad bad rain rot/scratches and I got it cleared up in a week or so, never to return, even with our way record breaking wet year.

I started putting coat defense on mine daily as prevention.....we shall see if it does any good. My daughter's little old mare is super prone to rain rot.
