Poor thing needs to see the vet.
You have no idea what's causing it or what to treat it with let alone how much or how often.

Hi. He needs to see a vet. There is nothing you can do at home for this. A vet will most likely do a microscopic exam of his skin and maybe a fungal culture to see what is going on. Do you have other cats?

Good. Probably an easy fix once the vet determines what it is. He is adorable. Please post when you find out what it is.
Were you able to get an appointment for today? Hope it went well!
Make sure you wash your hands after handling him or wear gloves.

the vet gave him a lotion, a syrup and a shampoo that will help him get rid of it
Woohoo!

Did they say what it is? Scabies? If so, it is species specific. I am glad you took him in.

they said that it is skin infection, when we first got him he was infested with fleas they said that it was probably because of that
