Cat skin with crusty hard spots

Cat skin with crusty hard spots may be caused by over-cleaning, trauma infection, mosquito bites, parasite infection, and other reasons. First of all, if it is due to over-cleaning, the crusty hard spots are a normal physiological phenomenon and generally do not require excessive worry. Secondly, if the abnormal crusty hard spots are accompanied by other uncomfortable symptoms, such as skin redness, pain, etc., it is recommended that the owner take the cat to a regular pet hospital in time for diagnosis and further treatment.

Over-cleaning

If the skin is itchy, the cat may scratch the skin excessively. If the skin is over-cleaned, it can easily cause dryness and scaling, leading to crusts and hard spots on the skin. The number of baths needs to be adjusted, and excessive cleaning should not be done, otherwise it can easily affect skin recovery.

Trauma Infection

If the skin is injured and not properly treated, bacteria may breed, causing skin inflammation, along with redness, swelling, and pain. In severe cases, crusts may appear on the skin. Under a doctor's guidance, antibiotic ointments can be used to improve the condition, controlling bacterial proliferation and promoting the recovery of the local skin.

Mosquito Bites

Usually caused by local mosquito bites, which cause local skin damage, leading to swellings and crusts. Rinse the affected area with fresh water or soapy water, and then follow the doctor's advice to use antibiotic ointments for treatment.

Parasite Infection

This is a common infectious disease that causes parasites to accumulate in the intestines or on the skin, leading to skin infections, crusts, and hard spots. It is necessary to follow the doctor's advice and take deworming medication to improve the condition, which can eliminate parasites inside and outside the body, promoting recovery.
