Thanks for reaching out about your cat's bald spot and red mark in the neck area. It sounds like your cat might be dealing with a common skin issue. Bald spots can be caused by a variety of things, such as allergies, parasites like fleas, fungal infections, or even stress-related over-grooming. The red mark you see could be a result of irritation from any of these causes.
At home, you can gently clean the area with a soft cloth and warm water to keep it free of dirt. Ensure your cat's living area is clean and free of potential allergens. Keep an eye out for excessive scratching or licking, as this might aggravate the condition.
It’s essential to monitor the spot for changes. If the red mark starts to swell, ooze, or if your cat seems to be in pain or losing more fur, those could be signs of an infection or a more serious issue that needs immediate attention. Additionally, if your cat shows signs of discomfort like decreased appetite or lethargy, it would be wise to act promptly.
To get a more accurate diagnosis and tailored advice, I recommend booking a video consultation with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. They'll be able to guide you through the next best steps for your furry friend.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
