Foot pad dermatitis treatment

[Alilbit88]

Has anybody been through this? tried anything to get rid of it?what would be the treatment? It was cold in TX last few weeks so girls feet are dried and crack. Then it starting raining after. 4/12 of my girl’s footpad skin super dry and some swollen with small brown black lesions, not a bumblefoot dot from what I can see. I have cleaned it up and put neosporin on it and will apply arnica cream later. I do not have a pic right now but here is some examples I found off the Internet. It is more like stage 2.

Photos of your own birds would be helpful.

Keeping feet dry is often key to healing, so provide them with dry bedding and coop.

Here’s some of the photos across 4 hens. I applied an arnica gel to hopefully help with pain and swelling. The pics where there is no lesion but looks like dried up foot pad skin/“scale” is rubbing off is from my baby Gwen. looks like her skin is coming off due to the dryness of the cold. I have cleaned and rub with neosporin. How should I treat ?( when I added more pics it messed up the order of the pics sorry)

The rest of the pics are brown black hard lesions. some are worse than the others and some are very puffy and swollen. I applied neosporin and arnica gel.

Their bedding isn’t damp but they are all mostly new girls I added to my flock and the oldest ones are beating them up at roosting time so they are constantly jumping up and down. Also I let them free range in the yard so they walk all over everything and anything including anything wet. It’s been iced and snowy some days and heavy rain in 60s-70s lots of mud the past few days. Let me know what you think

It's foot pad / contact dermatitis, they need to be on dry bedding. Soaking and treating them may help.

Jumping around a lot can also break down the foot if there's already a problem with the feet, so hopefully the introduction period will eventually become smoother.
