Red Skin in Horses – A Common Problem

Red skin, itching, or sores in horses are a familiar issue for many owners. It not only looks unsightly but also causes real discomfort for the animal. Typical symptoms can include:

• reddened or inflamed skin

• constant rubbing or scratching

• small wounds or scabs

• hair loss in the affected areas

• restlessness and discomfort of the horse

As a horse owner, you empathize and want to provide quick and gentle relief – without putting additional strain on the skin.

Why does a horse get red skin?

The causes of skin problems in horses are diverse. Often, several factors are at play. The most common triggers include:

• Allergies (e.g., to insect bites or certain feed ingredients)

• Parasites like mites or lice

• Bacterial or fungal infections

• Environmental factors like moisture, heat, or dirt

• Disturbed skin barrier or an imbalance in the skin microbiome

Especially when the skin barrier is weakened, germs can penetrate more easily and cause inflammation.
