Is My Cat’s Skin Scabbing a Sign of Improvement?

Skin scabs do not mean a cat’s skin condition is improving; if it is still red, scabbed, scaly, and itchy, it is in an infectious stage or reacting to medication. Real improvement shows hair regrowing on bald spots, no excessive new scabs or scales, no redness or swelling, and no itching. Skin disease can be parasitic, bacterial, fungal, or allergic, so get a skin scraping at a clinic and treat accordingly, cleaning scabs and giving medicated baths before applying medicine.
