Grease heel is a disease complex which presents in the same way as rain scald and mud fever but over the heels. It produces a grey exudate which feels greasy to touch. The disease complex can involve dematophilosis as well as a number of other conditions including dermatophytosis, pastern folliculitis, pyoderma, photosensitisation, contact dermatitis and chorioptic mange.
