What should I do if my cat has bumps and scabs on its neck?

If you find bumps and scabs on your cat’s neck, take it to a proper veterinary hospital or consult a professional vet online to determine the underlying cause. If the scabs are from the cat scratching itself due to itchy skin, simply treat the wound: apply an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory spray and fit an Elizabethan collar. If bacterial skin disease is also present, oral anti-inflammatory medication is needed. For example, if ringworm (dermatophytosis) is the cause, use antifungal medication to treat the affected cat.
