Cat with small nodules and scabs on the body

Considering that the cat has small nodules and scabs on its body, it may be caused by eczema, folliculitis, ringworm, pyoderma, or other reasons. When a cat suffers from these diseases, it may lead to skin damage, causing nodules. If not handled promptly, it may cause local skin breakdown and formation of scabs. 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.

Eczema

This is a chronic inflammatory itchy skin disease, which may be caused by contact with allergens and bacterial infections. Symptoms include skin itching and rash. Scratching may cause local skin damage, leading to scabs. Treatment usually involves taking antibiotics and anti-histamine medications under a doctor's guidance.

Folliculitis

This is an inflammatory skin disease mainly caused by bacterial infections. 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.

Ringworm

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.

Pyoderma

This is a more severe disease usually caused by contact with chemical substances and fungal infections. It causes multiple skin injuries and may even lead to local abscesses with a foul smell. After the local skin heals, scabs may form. Treatment involves following the doctor's advice and using antifungal ointments.
