If you have noticed ”hot spots” on your feline, you may take him to the vet only to pay for the visit and possibly a steroid shot. The hot spot may disapear only to reapear shortly after.
This is evidence that the cat hot spots are a symptom of a deeper problem. “Hot spots” are patches of red, inflamed skin. This moist, raw skin disorder has a variety of causes but the most consistent factor is bacteria. It’s important to document location of the hot spot and when you noticed its appearance. As these are helpful things to know while trying to diagnose the underlying problem. In the mean time, using a natural skin therapy lotion on the hot spot will help the area to heal faster without the expensive, time-consuming trips to the vet or the long-term ill effects of steroids.
