Black dots on your cat's skin may be caused by parasite infection or folliculitis. After a cat is infected with external parasites, the parasites will secrete feces in the cat's hair and skin, so they will appear in the form of black granules. It is recommended that owners perform external deworming treatment on cats in a timely manner. In addition, cats suffering from folliculitis will have black cinder-like secretions. This is caused by the cat’s skin inflammation or greasy diet. Symptomatic medication is recommended.

1. Caused by parasitic infection

When a cat has ectoparasites, it will show symptoms such as itching and hair loss, and ectoparasite secretions may be found at the roots of the hair. It is daily recommended to deworm cats regularly, usually once a month for external deworming. You can use drugs containing selamectin, imidacloprid and other ingredients. When deworming cats externally, you need to choose the appropriate dose according to the drug usage instructions and the cat's weight. After deworming, you need to wear an Elizabethan ring to prevent the cat from licking the drug.

2. Caused by folliculitis infection

When cats suffer from folliculitis, they usually have symptoms such as blackheads, hair loss, and redness and swelling around the hair follicles. It is recommended that the cat be taken to the pet hospital for skin scraping examination in time, and symptomatic treatment will be given after diagnosis. Cats suffering from folliculitis can be treated with antibiotics, and they also need to be combined with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Notes:

It is daily recommended to feed cats food with low fat content, replace ceramic eating utensils, and wipe the hair around the cat's mouth promptly after drinking water. At the same time, the cat needs to be bathed regularly. In summer, the cat can be bathed once a month.Take a bath once, and you can take a bath once every three months in spring, autumn and winter. The owner can decide the frequency of bathing the cat based on the cat’s naughtiness and the degree of hair pollution.
