Skin problems related to moisture and mud in horses can lead to the appearance of large scabs on the lower part of the limb, and more specifically in the hollow of the pastern. However, this skin, which is very stressed by the environment, inevitably becomes more fragile and therefore requires particularly gentle care, while being sufficiently active to get rid of the problem. In the case of this type of damage, the crusts, while they can serve as a natural dressing, are also important nests of bacteria. It is thus necessary to act gently to soften them without tearing them off (and thus to avoid additional irritation) and to be able to diffuse natural active components and reach the epidermis. Derfongen was designed with this in mind and its concentration of vitamin E significantly increases the restoration of the skin’s elastin.

If the scabs or hair loss are located on the body, more precisely on the areas where water flows (neck, back, thighs, etc.) and depending on the condition of the horse, derfongen can help eliminate the scabs and boost the reconstruction of the epidermis
