There is a fleshy pimple on the cat's leg

If a cat has a pimple on its leg, the owner can press it gently and observe whether the cat feels pain. If the cat does not feel pain, it may be folliculitis. If it is not serious, the cat can heal on its own. If the cat feels pain, it may be a cyst or tumor. In this case, it is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination.

Tip:

If there are hard little bumps on the cat’s skin and some dander, it may be ringworm spots. If the cat is infected Parasites such as mites also have small bumps. If it is cat ringworm, the owner can shave the affected area clean and then apply medicine. Be careful not to touch the cat ringworm directly with your hands to prevent infection.
