Hello group,

My cat has a sore patch on her neck. She's "under the vet", as it were. It's
possible this sore is ringworm related - it as a small patch on her cheek, and
over the course of a few weeks has migrated to under her chin, the fur growing
back in its wake.

She's on oral ringworm antibiotic (itraconazole), and topical cortisone. The
sore place is more like a scabby eczema patch than ringworm (as I understand it
) - she  just tested positive for  ringworm.

Anyway, because this scabby patch (about an inch across) in the fold of her neck
/ chin is where it is, it's far too easy for her to scrat, and she keeps opening
it up. An "Elizabethan" collar would sit right on the wound, I think.

What might we do to stop her scratting?

Has anyone seen this kind of symptom in ringworm?

TIA

Jim
