I have a round scar-like rash on my butt cheek and it itches and my ear is peeling and itches too. Also I have scratched my ear and it's not abou to bleed. What could this be? Also I've noticed that I've had diahreah (very soft stool) for about 2 weeks but now it's getting better...HELP PLEASE!
Steffie:
Not everything that's round is ringworm (the common term for fungus.) In your case, however, it may very well be fungus, especially since your cat seems to have a problem with its fur. My advice is to go to the pharmacy and pick up some clotrimazole cream, which does not need a prescription. Apply it twice a day for two weeks, but also get your cat examined by a vet, or else the condition may will recur.
For the record, most skin fungus infections do not come from pets. Yours may, however.
Good luck!
