What should I do if my cat has crusty skin around the ears?

When you find flakes of skin crusting around the edges of your cat’s ears, first check inside the ears for brownish secretions, if so, most likely your cat has ear mites. Ear mites can cause itchy ears and the cat will keep scratching the root behind the ear, resulting in flakes and crusts around the edge of the ear. Owners can clean the flakes and crusts first and then apply or spray daily medication for the skin condition. Bring an Elizabethan ring not to let her scratch. Secondly, it may be caused by some fungal infections, such as ringworm and horse sella fungus, which are the result of other problems and need to be taken to the hospital for examination and confirmation of treatment. In addition, the cat should be dewormed regularly and some ear mites should be applied to the root behind the ear when deworming. The nutrition intake should be balanced, weak or malnourished cats are prone to ringworm. Cat products should be washed and disinfected frequently and the home environment should be disinfected regularly.
