I just brought it home like this—what is wrong and what should I apply?
From the photo, the cat may have fungal or bacterial skin disease, possibly mixed. If possible, get a skin scraping at a vet. If not, trim fur 2-3 cm around the area, rinse with saline, disinfect with iodine or hydrogen peroxide, then apply pet antibacterial spray and antifungal ointment (ketoconazole, itraconazole, terbinafine). Observe 5-7 days and use an Elizabethan collar.

Red, swollen eyes with hair loss around them—how to treat ‘one-eye cold’ (chlamydia conjunctivitis)?
In parrots, tearing, redness, and periorbital hair loss commonly indicate 'one-eye cold' (single-eye respiratory disease) from chlamydia infection, spreading via respiratory secretions and causing conjunctivitis, sneezing, and coughing. Use anti-inflammatory antibacterial eye drops 3 to 5 times daily plus chlamydia medication in water; severe cases need doxycycline. Isolate and disinfect.

One nipple is red and swollen, not painful, soft, with black spots around it and a small red bump, no sensation; normal appetite and energy. Neutered male cat.

If the kitten is energetic it is usually fine; give probiotics and acid-reducing medicine, but if vomiting persists or worsens, see a vet.
