Treatment is dependent on the underlying cause but includes removal of environmental triggers and alterations in husbandry. The horse should be removed from wet, muddy conditions and stabled on clean, dry bedding. The affected area should be gently clipped and cleansed with a mild antiseptic solution (e.g. Hibiscrub). Horses that are severely painful may require sedation for this to be performed. The necrotic and exudative skin should be gently debrided away and then dried thoroughly.
