Could be many things that you have better veterinary checks in person.
If circular, the size of a dollar and a half, and Flakey - it could be ringworm or some other type of fungal infections.
Horses can get the so-called "zero" on the legs of moisture - usually around the ankle and usually bleed a little.
Could a type of insect bites the horse moves and rubbed raw.
Could - at his age, small tumors, but in general they seem to blows.
There could be many things, and you will see firsthand that it's hard to say. In any case a good cleaning effect would be a good start. You can also use a portion of Betadine in the regions. If it is a fungal infection that can contribute to this. But the best thing is to ask the vet to take a look at him.
Good luck!

Your horse has ringworm also known as a skin infection, fungal dermatitis by a fungus that only a body which destroys living tissue is developed. Some typical symptoms we see with lichen is crisp, dry, flat, round patches that do not appear swollen or painful to the touch and clearly no scabs or itching, usually in a content area or certain areas of the body. In addition, a dull coat, but a general healthy certainly could indicate ringworm.
Contact your veterinarian and explain the symptoms and can advise on a suitable treatment. If no veterinarian is unavailable, you read my suggestions below.
The horses are constantly surrounded by mushrooms, and your horse may only develop a commitment in the immune system, leading to the problem. If a home remedy does not work fast enough and got out to your vet immediately as it may be a deeper problem, such as serious illness or infection.
The fungus lives mainly of keratin in the hair of their horses, so it is important that all the hair after about reducing the irritationuntil the end of production of the fungus.
Now wash real treat ringworm, in the area. Then apply a form of acid like vinegar in a wound. The fungi are sensitive to acid, so that it is to fight infection. Then you have to do is implement an anti-fungal, such as Betadine or iodine, at least once per day for a week. Then cut out the solution every day, start to decline until the stains.
Make sure the horse remains in the sun and dry, because fungi are sensitive to sunlight and tend to break away from moisture.
The animals from ringworm is very contagious and can spread to humans, and to disinfect other necessities for themselves and areas or tools that may be in contact with the horse, where they now live on surfaces for up to 7 years, it except in treating severe cases. You can use a Bleach 1 to 3, to the solution of water in its facilities and tools and Lysol in their own clothes, shoes and hands after a bath.
Good luck!
They know at what age they have spots on the skin? This is done to animals.
If the object is treated as a mother, you can vaseline to get rid of him.
Good luck and take care.
