Natural Relief for Acute Moist Dermatitis

Hotspots are among the most common skin problems in cats and can spread quickly if not treated promptly. They can be very uncomfortable and painful for the animals, making rapid intervention essential.

Symptoms of Hotspots in Cats:

• Redness and skin inflammation

• Moist, oozing lesions

• Significant hair loss at the affected area

• Unpleasant odor

• Excessive licking, biting, or scratching

Early detection and targeted treatment can prevent hotspots from worsening or developing secondary infections.

Understanding the Causes of Hotspots in Cats

Hotspots usually develop due to a combination of external and internal factors. A compromised skin barrier promotes rapid inflammation and infection.

Causes of Hotspots in Cats:

• Excessive licking, scratching, or biting, often triggered by itchiness or stress

• Parasite infestations: fleas, mites, or ticks irritate the skin

• Allergies: food, environmental, or contact allergens

• Stress and boredom: psychological factors can encourage excessive licking

• Imbalance of the skin microbiome: disturbed skin flora promotes infection

Hotspots can be highly contagious to other animals, especially if parasites are present, and should therefore be treated promptly.
