[QUOTE="Nicole53, post: 784228, member: 14696"] Hello! As already stated "rain rot" is caused by Dermatophilus congolensisis...it is evident by the classic "paintbrush" appearance of the hair protruding through the scab after the lesions are removed...It is also true that there can be carrier states that exist, however it is a common misconception that it is a fungus. Dermatophilus congolensisis is actually a gram (+) Microaerophilic spore forming bacteria. It usually seen in the fall in winter monthes when it's damp hence the name "rain rot". Treatment involves: scab removal, bathing with an iodine shampoo or captan dip, and then 7 to 14 days of Penicllin (can also use erythromycin or oxytetracycline if you don't have penicllin)...I guess I did learn at least one useful thing in dermatology....good luck [url=http://howtodealwithdepression.org/how-to-treat-depression][color=#ffffcc][u]how to treat depression[/u][/color][/url] [/QUOTE]
