When we notice that our cat's skin is inflamed, it is natural to worry and look for solutions. It is important to address the problem to ensure your pet is comfortable and healthy, and you should consult the issue with an animal health professional to obtain a diagnosis and appropriate 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. Try to identify if there are red, swollen areas, with secretions, crusts, 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 that are not specific for cats, as they can worsen the problem.
• Prevent excessive licking: If the cat licks the inflamed areas excessively, it could worsen the inflammation 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 veterinary guidance, as some products can be toxic to cats.
• Consult a veterinarian: If the inflammation persists, worsens, or if other concerning signs appear such as fever or loss of appetite, you should schedule a veterinary consultation. The veterinarian can determine the cause of the inflammation and recommend specific treatment.

The causes of skin inflammation in cats can vary from allergies, insect bites, skin infections, to more serious problems such as parasitic diseases. A veterinarian is the right person to diagnose the cause and provide the necessary care.
