consult with a vet. it could be fungus or bacterial, which sometimes needed to be treated differently. i use an antifungal/antibacterial medication. its clear, i forget the brand name. its in a smaller purple bottle with a horse dog and maybe cat siloette. becareful about saddle pads and things that can potentially harbor and reinfest a horse.

Most likely rainrot. You will need to remove all of the scab, cleanse with Chlorhexidine, and I prefer to treat with a 50/50 mixture of Athlete's Foot Cream and Triple Antibiotic Ointment. AFC with kill the fungus that causes the condition, and the TAO with help deal with any secondary bacterial conditions and help heal. Depending on the severity, I give Pen injections. Consult with your vet before you go that far, though.
