Hi!
Do you have other cats - in other words did he get scratched in play? Could it be an insect bite?

Would you be able to send the photo in to your vet and see what they say?

You could get some chamomile tea (from the little baggies, not loose leaf), brew it, cool it and apply with a cotton ball.

It's anti fungal, anti bacterial and will help ease any itch or discomfort. Plus if she licks it, it is safe

Please don’t just wait for it to get better if it looks angry or she keeps going for it. If it gets any bigger and angrier make sure you go to the vet. These things abscess super quickly and cause some horrible infections.
My friends cat, Mini, had a small spot that accessed very quickly (a matter of days) and got really quite ill. Poor thing had to have a drain put in and was on some heavy meds. Wasn’t pleasant for her or her (human) mum.
