Hello, first of all, forgive my English for not fluent- I'm south korean

My black cat is 8 years old- female
recently she is recovering from ringworm- she has been recovering for 1 month and 15 days

Since she has suffered ringworm ( on her back) , I always keep on eye on her and see if there's a problem
and I saw some fur loss? on her nose
If you look at the picture I posted below- 'here' section

look at the 'here' section
on her nose, there's a tiny fur loss - I watched for several days and it doesn't get bigger but just like that.....
Actually when she was little, there were some hair loss at that point of nose,
but since she is recovering from ringworm..I am very worried so....

If you raise cat or black cat,
could you give advise please? It would be a great help

It could be she had a tiny scab in that area and when the scab fell off it took the fur with it. My cats tend to have tiny bald spots left behind anytime they have a scab fall off. It can be a little shocking when you didn't even see the scratch but their fur can hide scratches.

I'd keep an eye on the spots. If they get bigger might be worth a trip to the vet to see what's going on. But if they get smaller or fade out then they were likely just a random one off.

Thank you for your advice! I will watch and wait if the scab doesn't get bigger....
