Welcome to TCS! I noticed this is your first post. There is a very helpful Article that discusses skin conditions in cats: Skin Conditions In Cats

Has your kitten been to the vet lately? If not you may want to contact them and explain his symptoms. Please keep us posted on his progress. Best of luck!

Thanx for reply ... I ve sent pics to my vet he said its scabies and prescribed me an antifungal lotion ..now my concern is what if my kitty lick the lotion ? As when i applied he immediately licked it what should i do? I ve applied twice since yesterday to the bald spot .his leg is getting worse i think

Ask your vet whether it's OK to lick the lotion; if not, you need to put a cone on him. If he's totally miserable with a cone, there are oral meds that can be used.

Also, if you have other cats, they need to be isolated from the affected one. I don't remember for how long, ask your vet. People don't get scabies from cats.

Good luck.
