It’s also not unusual for the skin to crack and bleed, or for papilloma warts to break off in mobile areas, like on the lips and nose. Some horse owners believe that once they bleed and scab, the warts will go away faster. However, any open wound must be closely monitored to prevent infection. You may use Sanocyn forte to disinfect the wound. Rinse the wound generously with Sanocyn forte Solution and allow it to dry. The Solution removes unwanted bacteria, fungi and viruses, creating the best condition to the wound healing. Afterwards you can apply Sanocyn forte Hydrogel. It adheres excellently, keeps the wound moist and forms a protective film, which can prevent new infections.

Papillomas in horses are more common in young animals but can also occur in older horses. The virus that causes papillomas can be transmitted through direct contact with an infected horse, or through contact with contaminated equipment, such as grooming tools, halters, or feed buckets. The virus can also be transmitted indirectly through contact with contaminated surfaces, such as stalls or fences.

While papillomas in horses are usually benign, they can cause discomfort. Horses may experience irritation or itching around the affected area, and may rub or scratch at the papilloma, which can lead to secondary infections or other complications. In some cases, large or multiple papillomas may require treatment, such as surgical removal or cryotherapy, to prevent them from interfering with the horse’s normal activities or causing other health problems.
