Contact dermatitis

  Summary definition: Localised allergic reaction linked to the use of the harness, products applied to the skin, etc.

  Areas affected: Areas that come into contact with the allergen

  Symptoms: Hives, itching, hair loss

  Short-term care: Soothing lotions/creams.Clean/replace the material or change the cleaning method used (e.g. the soap). Stop using the culpable product completely.

  Please note: Again, the symptoms and treatment are very similar to those for summer dermatitis. Covering the horse is completely useless and should not be used.
