#Proud flesh skin#
Proud flesh is not conducive to wound healing as it prevents the wound from epithelializing (the process of the skin cells covering the wound), and sometimes it can become so large it appears to be a tumor, usually obliterating the original wound. Persistent inflammation, along with infection, is a major contributor to exuberant granulation tissue (or proud flesh) formation in a wound. These factors can often halt the normal progression of the healing process and result in a chronic wound. Also, the constant movement of the horse's legs as he walks, turns, and bears weight can greatly impair healing, especially if the wound occurs over a joint. Those on lower limbs are especially difficult to manage, however: there is little extra skin in those areas, making large wounds difficult to close via suturing in addition, wounds on the lower legs are contaminated easily with bacteria since the wounds are closer to the ground, bedding, and manure.
