Proud flesh remedy?

["Rick Forrester" <rwforest@eoni.com>]

From Mary..   Does anyone have a remedy for a lump of proud flesh on the
lower leg? This started with a small scrape type injury, hind leg, front of
the bone about 1/2 way to the hock. It didn't get infected and was never
tended to, and now has quite a lump of proud flesh, still scabby looking
and not healed over. It's my sister's filly, and she didn't want a vet bill
so nothing was done for it. (Ignore it and it will go away). Well I want to
do something for it but I really don't want a vet bill either, so if there
is a home remedy that would reduce the proud flesh I'd like to try it.  She
isn't lame, and when I cleaned it up she didn't act like it was sore. Would
sugardine help with this?  It's getting to be fly season and I think
infection is not far off.  Thanks for your help.
