==Description==
Greasy heel is not a single disease but refers to the clinical presentation of a group of inflammatory skin conditions of the distal limb of the horse. Several aetiologies have been suggested including immunodysregulation, contact dermatitis and genetic (breed) predisposition. Predisposing factors include constant wetting, non-pigmented skin and abrasions to the limb. Multiple bacteria are thought to have a role in the disease and include [[Dermatophilus congonlensis]], Staphylococcus
