hi, my cat (Boo) is almost two years old, she will be two by the end of October.
Now those last few days I was petting her head, when I noticed some type of really small crust above her eye. I tried to remove it and some hair pulled out with it. Really small amount, barley noticeable. And the crust is the size of pimple. Anyhow I really got alarmed and I was thinking it's ringworm. Because exactly last year, in fall she had a huge ringworm fight.
Anyhow I applied some ringworm cream. But I noticed that she started to get a bald spot above her eye. I did my research and it says that cats do get these facial alopecia when they reach the age of two. And they are absolutely natural. But my cat has some reddness aroud this bald spot. so I'm not sure if it's normal or not. I'm really scared that it has something to do with ringworm. Should I go to the vet or is it normal and not worth the trip? (Ps. The vet visit is really expensive where I live, so I rather not go if it doesn't seem serious) so if anyone has any idea about what is it, please offer some advice.
Here are some pictures of the bald spot:
