Considering that the cat has small nodules and scabs on its body, it may be caused by eczema, folliculitis, ringworm, pyoderma, or other reasons.

It is recommended that the owner take the cat to a regular hospital for a detailed examination and then adopt targeted treatment measures according to the examination results, which is beneficial to the improvement of the disease.

After infection, red papules and itching pain occur, and the disease also causes damage to the skin soft tissues, leading to nodules and scabs. It is advisable to follow the doctor's advice and use antibiotic ointments to improve the condition and help the local skin recover.

Usually caused by damage to the body's immune system and fungal infection, it leads to rough hair and hair loss. Round or oval patches appear on the skin, and as the patches enlarge, they may cause skin damage and form scabs. Treatment involves taking antifungal and corticosteroid medications as prescribed by the doctor.
