Hello,

Thanks so much! My cat has a small raw patch of skin on the left  side of his face and his left ear is warm and red. He hasn't been scratching it That I have noticed but it has gotten a little worse since yesterday. What should I do to help him heal?

Do you have a picture you could share?  That might help us help you.  First up, I'd try to get him into the vet as soon as possible.

Welcome to TCS! 

I agree with @stephanietx   that you need to have him seen by a vet asap. Skin conditions can get systemic and treating this earlier is going to be easier (and cheaper). It could be any kind of infection, bacterial, fungal or even viral. Only a vet can diagnose it and offer you a proper treatment. It could very well be something that's easy to treat if caught early.

Let us know how he's doing and what the vet said!
