The picture isn't opening up for me

There's no one here that are experts, so the first port of call should be a vet, more so if its been a month and getting worse?

EDIT : It's opened for me now. That looks really painful!!. I haven't a clue what it could be but it looks really swollen as well?. Please contact a vet asap and let us know what they say

Welcome to TCS

I'd say definitely a vet's visit for this.. poor little thing.

My cat recently had something very similar.. turns out he's allergic to mosquitos.  Bitey insects like that favour noses, inside of ears, and pads of feet, but with my guy they just went for the nose.

The treatment of choice here is steroids to address the immediate problem, then working on ways to stop the biting. (my cats are indoor, but have a cat enclosure where they can be bitten, so I use mossie coils out there now.)

Of course, it could be something completely different. Is she in the sun a lot?  The blisters could be sunburn, and she does have a lot of white on her.

Only your vet can tell you.   Please let us know when you find out.

Hi E420 and welcome to TCS! I've edited your post so the photo shows up for everyone.

Some cuts & sores etc can be treated effectively at home, especially if you get on to them early. Colloidal silver and Vetericyn are two products that a lot of people here have used to good effect.
However, your cat's rash looks beyond that stage and I think a vet visit would be the best thing to do for her. It's important to know what's causing this as well as getting a treatment for her.

Good luck and let us know what's going on!

I second using the Colloidal Silver 500 ppm. or the Vetericyn spray. It could be a number of things and even a possible "fungus". I think a vet check is in order since this has been going on for a month and progressing. for you DARLING kitty.

But PLEASE NO home remedies of any kind before a vet visit and a proper diagnosis.
