Could be fleas, could be a food allergy, could be ringworm, could be any
number of things.. recommend a trip to the vet..

Hi new to group
It could be a flea allergy, one of my cats is allergic to flea bites and she
gets scabby if I don't keep up with a flea programme
hope this helps

told ,me they're cat had it and
we both got some antibacterial
cream from the vet and IT WORKED!!!! I hope this helps
