Why does my cat have fleas and bumps on her head near her ears?

Question

My cats have fleas so we're getting flea bites. But my cat has bumps on the top of her head by her ears? What's wrong with her? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 1 month old | 20 lbs

Hi, sometimes when cats have fleas they also have ear mites. Eat mites cause intense scratching and discomfort and can cause redness around the ears. I would treat her with a topical called Revolution that you can purchase from a vet that will also help with fleas. Clean out the ears with an ear cleaned and q- tips and apply an ear mite remedy you can purchase at a vet or pet store. Good luck, i hope this helps!
