Brig has it and I put MTG on it, but it never really goes away. Do some horses just always have it?

The stuff that they get on the hind cannons? I put baby oil all over it to soften the scabs. Then scrub each day too get them off. Dry really well and keep at it until all scabs are gone and skin can heal.

Ahhh... keratitis. Got it! (Well, not really... LOL... but George does, occasionally.)
I use Nolvasan ointment after a thorough scrubbing to remove as much of the build-up as possible. Applied daily, it takes care of it in about a week.

I've always had almost instantaneous improvement with MTG and a good scrub after it's done it's magic for a day or so... almost NEVER lingers, or comes back for a good long while.

Well, ya learn something new.
Snickers has had that every summer since I got him. It was awful when I first got him but seems less each summer.
For a while, I thought it was from the War Paint I put on his cannons.
Well, now I know.
Hot Shot gets a little bit too. I just try not to bug is too much during show season since I don't like the bald spots I get if I rub it off.
I can try MTG on Snickers. Hot Shot reacts badly to MTG.

Charm gets it every autumn. I use Muck-itch on it, it works like a...charm. Spray on, rub it in, leave over night, rinse. Repeat if necessary.

I've read that cannon keratosis is an over-active/over-sensitivity condition that is somewhat seborhea-like that cannot be cured, but can be managed. I use a human anti-seborhea shampoo (just on that part of the leg) that helps keep it under control. The shampoos are often used by folks with psoriasis.
