Carol,

Sounds like rain rot.   Eqyss Shampoo and Eqyss Spray is what I 
use.   Magnum used to get this out in CA (it's much dryer here in 
NM Blue's never had it).   It's a fungus, not a bacteria (at least 
that is my understanding) so iodine shampoo doesn't work.   But 
Eqyss does.   Go ahead and shampoo / scrape off the "scabbies" 
and then treat the pink skin underneath or at least   as much as 
our horse will tolerate.   The fungus hides under the scabbies.
You could try that first... hope this helps,
