Different types of skin The treatment methods are also different. For skin diseases caused by bacteria, fungi or parasites, the treatment methods are nothing more than medicated baths, sprays, disinfection, collars, sun exposure, etc.; but for nutritional skin diseases, The treatment is to strengthen nutrition, such as supplementation of B vitamins.

No matter what kind of skin disease, the symptoms are similar, and after the cat's skin defense system fails, it is easy to have mixed infection, the symptoms we can see may not be caused by a skin disease, It is not impossible to be infected with 2~3 kinds of fungi at the same time. Therefore, when a cat has a skin disease, we should take the cat to a regular pet hospital as soon as possible to identify which skin disease the cat is suffering from, so that it can be treated quickly.

If you want to properly treat cat skin diseases, you should first identify whether the cat's skin disease is a mite type or a fungal type.

Dermatomycosis is a problem that every dog parent and cat mother will encounter, so the children's dermatomycosis will infect us Well, let me explain in detail.

It is now found that there are 5 kinds of fungi that can cause skin diseases in dogs and cats. Among them, Microsporum canis is the most common, followed by Microsporum gypseum.

First of all, let's talk about Microsporum canis. 70% of ringworm in dogs and cats is caused by this fungus, which mainly forms a round crust on the skin. Although it is called Microsporum canis, it can also infect cats, and it can occur throughout the year . Microsporum canis mainly causes tinea capitis in humans. Microsporum gypsum lives in the soil, and humans are also susceptible. The disease is relatively acute and the damage is severe, sometimes causing extensive skin lesions, and it is easy to secondary bacterial infection, local exudative suppuration, and chronic disease can be caused. for months or even years. Microspora auduin and Trichoderma mentosa are generally transmitted from humans to dogs cats and cats. The possibility of dogs and cats being transmitted to humans is very small. The former mainly causes tinea capitis in children, and the latter is a The main causative agent of tinea pedis in the United States.

So how is the fungus transmitted? It is mainly transmitted by direct contact. In addition, contact with contaminated utensils, combs, scissors, pads, etc. can also cause indirect infection. However, fungi are not the same as bacteria and viruses, and they are not very contagious. Generally, they will be infected when the body’s resistance decreases and immunity decreases, such as when a large amount of hormones are used, and some immune diseases are acquired. In addition, malnutrition, infirmity, or in hot and humid climates can also lead to infection. So as long as your immune system is normal and you usually pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness, even if you get fungus, as long as you don't come into close contact, there is nothing to worry about. It is worth noting that when the dermatomycosis is cured, it is resistant to re-infection of the same type of dermatophyte, which can last for one or six months, and some cats can reach 2 years. In addition, some fungal diseases are self-limiting and can heal on their own without treatment.
