Kitten has bald patch and lump on wrist. Wart or insect bite?

I would definitely take him to the vet to have this checked. From what you say I wonder if this is a tissue reaction to a little piece of the bug left behind. It looks more like reaction and infection than a tumour, but that is always a possibility. I wouldn't let that put you off, head to the vet and see what they think.

Hi and thank you so much for your question on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is hard to say exactly what it may be sight unseen (can't get a good look or feel from the picture), I can certainly offer a few possibilities. It may be just a scab from playing rough or bumping into something. It also could be a small abscess from one of her vaccines she received previously-that sometimes can happen and is quite common. Another possibility would be a bite wound from another cat or a fungal or bacterial infection. If the lesion feels like little millet seeds, it could be a flea allergy (especially if she is not receiving a month to month flea preventative). If it gets worse or does not improve in a few days, I would bring her into her primary care veterinarian an exam and diagnostic testing. Best wishes to you and Biscuit!

The pink raised mass in the picture appears to be a wart. I would not be concerned about this unless it grows or changes in color. The lump you feel could range from a cyst to a cancerous growth. I would recommend taking her to a veterinarian for an aspirate. This is where they can take cells from the mass and look at it with microscope

It's hard to tell the size but it looks like it may be a benign wart or growth. It appears to be more on the surface of the skin which is good, and it is well defined. Cats do get malignant skin growths so it is a good idea to have your veterinarian examine it and feel underneath also. They can easily remove this if necessary and do a biopsy. I'm not overly concerned looking at the photo but it's best to be sure. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Louis.

Poor, Kiara, I hope her legs are on the mend! There are several things that could be causing the dry patches in your pictures. The most common cause in a kitten would be ringworm (a type of fungus), but there are other possibilities like mites. I recommend having Kiara rechecked by your veterinarian and discussing recommended treatments, as there are several different options. Also, know that ringworm can be passed on to humans. If you have any concerning spots, make sure to discuss with your human doctor!

I can't really appreciate the lump on your pictures. But with Midnight's history some potential causes for her signs could be allergies to food or the environment as well something called psychogenic alopecia. It looks like she has given herself a secondary skin infection, likely bacterial. The skin infection perpetuates the itch so it's like a vicious cycle. It's good to keep her on a flea preventative even though she's indoors but at this point I would recommend having your veterinarian take a look because she may need antibiotics and potentially steroids to help her itch. At that time your veterinarian can do a further exam on that lump and give you a better idea what it could be.

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. From the images you have posted it appears to be a slightly raised patch of skin. This could be a bit of a skin tag or a wart, or could be a bit of a reaction to a bug bite. It could also be a bit of a scab. From the image it is hard to tell exactly. If the area is not painful, and Ghost is eating, drinking and playing normally, then just monitor the spot for now. If it goes away it is likely a bit or a scratch. If it gets worse (red, swollen, bigger, or has any discharge) then I would have it seen by a vet. I would also check your kitten for fleas in case this is a scab from scratching due to itchiness from fleas. Best of luck with Ghost!
