Hello,
I was wondering if someone can help me identify what the issue is with my kitty. As shown in the pictures below she has a dark spot that seems to be scabbing over. Normally her nose was all white. This happened about two weeks ago and it slowly got darker and darker and then the dark scab looking like spot in the middle showed up. I did try using a skin cream on the nose that I previously used on her chin for her chin acne but it didn't seem to help. I may try using some antibacterial wipes I have specifically for cats in case it is some sort of an infection.
A little bit of background info, we did recently move her to a new home, and this issue did start appearing shortly after. I was thinking it may have been stress related but she's been settling in nicely now. Also the place did have a significant amount of renovation done prior to us moving so the other thing I could think of is maybe she's allergic to something in the air. Although for that I'd expect to see her sneezing more often but she does not. In fact she seems to be acting the exact same way as always with no strange or new behavior. Touching the spot doesn't seem to be painful as she doesn't react to it.
I was hoping to avoid the vet as that is a pretty traumatic event for her and I didn't want to do it so soon given her recent home change as that already put a great deal of stress on her. I did have an annual check up done about 5 months prior and everything was fine then.
If anyone is aware of what this might be or a possible treatment it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much!
