Why is my cat's face red and losing fur? What should I do?

Question

Hi. We have a pet cat. His skin in the face is reddish like he has an allergy. Ang his fur is falling causing it to be bald. I just want to ask what medicine is appropriate for him. We do not have a vet near in our place because we are in the province. Thank you! Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 10 months and 2 days old

Your cat could be suffering from a food allergy or a mite infection. Mites can be treated easily with an ivermectin injection from your veterinarian. Mites can kill a cat, so it is important that you take her to your vet for a proper diagnosis. She could also have a severe fungal or bacterial infection which would need to be treated with an antifungal medication or antibiotics, respectively.
