Certainly, an accurate diagnosis can only be made by a veterinarian, but there are still some signs that need to be taken seriously. First of all, it is a rash that does not pass in time, but, on the contrary, increases in size. On its surface is often formed a crust. After a few days, the animal shows noticeable foci of alopecia with a round-shaped border. In veterinarians this phenomenon has its scientific name - "alopecia". These are the main signs that characterize deprivation in a cat. These symptoms, however, may indicate a number of other infections, and therefore at the first signs of the onset of rashes on the skin of the animal, you should immediately contact the veterinarian.

Unfortunately, cases when there is lichen from cats in a person are frequent - this disease is very contagious, and children are most at risk.
