I believe it is probably ringworm. I researched as soon as I saw it, and then posted on here since I wasn't sure. But now I am 100% sure it is ringworm. Even if it's not ringworm, I know it's fungal. But I'll see the black light if it becomes necessary.
Thank you, I think at this point I have...
I bought the OTC cream last night and I ordered shampoo online. I am very thankful for your thorough answer! How do I keep the cream on without the cat licking or rubbing it off? Can I bandage it?
I plan to contact the shelter as soon as they open. It's not for a few more hours unfortunately...
My cat is from a shelter. He had all his shots and has be dewormed.
He does sneeze every once in a while, but no discharge or yellow/green snot.
He doesn't seem to itch, but there is the bald, hard "scab" looking thing that has been their since he was adopted.
I don't have a lot of money...
