Natural help for acute moist dermatitis

Hotspots are one of the most common skin problems in cats and spread quickly if not treated early. They can be very uncomfortable and painful for animals, which is why quick action is crucial.

Symptoms of hotspots in cats:

• Redness and inflammation of the skin

• Moist, purulent areas

• Severe hair loss in the affected area

• Unpleasant odor

• Intense licking, biting or scratching

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

Hotspots in cats: Understanding the causes

Hotspots usually develop due to a combination of external and internal factors. The skin barrier is disrupted, which promotes rapid inflammation and infection.

Causes of hotspots in cats:

• Excessive licking, scratching or biting: often triggered by itching or stress

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

• Allergies: food, environmental or contact allergies

• Stress and boredom: psychological factors can promote excessive licking

• Skin microbiome imbalance: disturbed skin flora promotes infections

Hotspots are often highly contagious to other animals, especially with a concomitant parasite infestation, and should therefore be treated early.
