What should I do if my cat has a skin disease?

Causes of skin diseases in cats:

1. The main consideration is that cats have low skin immunity and insufficient skin protective barrier function, which makes them less resistant to fungi and bacteria in the surrounding environment, thus leading to infection.

2. It could also be due to the cat having an allergic constitution caused by its usual food, resulting in a severe lack of skin resistance and leading to skin diseases.

3. If you don't dry your cat after bathing it or if your home environment is damp, cold, and dark, bacteria on the cat's skin will proliferate, leading to illness.
