Typically hair becomes matted and focal lesions develop into crusts and thick scabs covered by layers of yellow-green pus. When scabs are removed the hair is taken with them and alopecia results.
'''Rain scald''' commonly affects the dorsum, shoulders and neck. It can however extend to lower portions of the body and abdomen. It typically begins as small rough raised bumps and can go un-noticed in long haired regions.
'''Mud fever''' looks similar to rain scald but affects the pastern and distal limbs. White legs and white skinned areas are most commonly affected.
'''Grease heel''' is a disease complex described in its own page.
