Poor Rasha! This rash could be caused by a contact allergy or a skin infection. Without seeing him in person, I can't say for certain and it is best that he is seen by a vet for this rash. While you can give him an oatmeal bath will may help temporarily give him relief, it will not cure the rash. Curing the rash requires diagnosis of the cause and medications from the vet. Many human medications and ointments contain ingredients that are not safe for cats, so it's best to take him into the vet Monday morning to get this rash treated.
