When we notice that our cat's skin is inflamed, it's natural to be concerned and look for solutions. It's important to address the problem to ensure your pet is comfortable and healthy, and the issue should be discussed with an animal health professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. Here are some general steps you can follow:

• Observe your cat: Carefully examine your cat's skin to determine the location and severity of the inflammation. Look for any red, swollen, oozing, crusty areas or hair loss.
• Keep the area clean: If you notice inflamed areas, you can gently clean them with warm water and a clean cloth. Avoid using soaps or products not specifically designed for cats, as these can make the problem worse.
• Prevent excessive licking: If your cat licks the inflamed areas excessively, it could make the inflammation worse or even cause wounds. In this case, you may need a protective cone to prevent licking.
• Do not use toxic products: Avoid applying lotions or medications without the guidance of a veterinarian, as some products can be toxic to cats.
• Consult a veterinarian: If the swelling persists, worsens, or if the cat shows other worrisome signs such as fever or loss of appetite, you should schedule a veterinary consultation. The veterinarian will be able to determine the cause of the inflammation and recommend a specific treatment.
