Fighting

If cats often fight, they may damage local hair and experience hair loss with smooth skin. Iodine disinfection should be used to prevent bacterial proliferation and promote new hair growth.

Seborrheic Dermatitis

This is a chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting areas with excessive sebum secretion, such as the face and back. It is usually caused by abnormal lipid metabolism, leading to hair follicle atrophy and hair loss. The skin surface is smooth and oily. Vitamin and antibiotic treatment should be taken according to the doctor's advice.

Folliculitis

This is mainly caused by poor local skin hygiene, resulting in inflamed hair follicles and hair loss. It also affects the re-growth of surrounding hair. Topical antibiotic ointments specifically for pets should be used according to the doctor's advice.
