Directions: Gently clean any dirt or debris from treatment area. Do not pick off any existing scabs. Using fingertips, scoop paste from container and spread thickly over affected area. Spread to surrounding areas and down to the skin. Do not rub in. Let paste dry to a near white shell and leave on for several days. Reapply as necessary until skin is fully healed. For open wounds, first dry oozing by patting with a clean cloth and/or applying Coat Defense Daily Preventative Powder. Paste is also effective if thinned out with water or witch hazel. A more paint-like layer of the paste provides an effective barrier between exposed skin (ears, bellies, etc.) and biting insects. Use wet cloth or water to remove. Paste becomes abrasive when it is dry. Use Coat Defense Daily Preventative Powder for Horses to prevent future flare-ups.
