My cat is losing his hair on his side. His skin turns black and then the hair and the skin comes out. When the hair and skin comes out the skin underneath is pink and fairly healthy looking. My cat is really over weight. Any advice on what this could be would be great. He has two small patches of this. Thanks!

He could have allergies but it really is necessary for you to take him to a vet for examination and possible testing of the skin cells.

Whenever ANYTHING different is happening with a cat, and since we usually know our cats pretty well and would be aware of change, the best thing to do is take the cat to a vet who is a medical expert and can diagnose/do tests to find the problem.

Any of us here would only be guessing so please, take your cat to the vet to have this skin issue checked out.
