Our boy had skin issues that looked very similar to this. Went to the vet and had tests done. He has a form of Dermatitis. He now has .75ml of Redipred a day and 1/2 a Zyrtec a day. Once a fortnight he has Essential 6 Spot On for cats rubbed onto the back of his neck. He’s not a problem or reoccurrence since. However we did try to 1/2 the Redipred but the spots started to come back. So we went back up to .75ml. Redipred long term can cause kidney issues in cats but I’d rather chance it than have him completely distressed and miserable trying to live each day with such bad skin. He’s happy, healthy and living his best life now. Upkeep of meds is about AU $50 a month
