Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Mingming's skin issue appears to have an infectious component to it. Unfortunately, in order to properly diagnose and prescribe a regimen for something like this, it will take him being examined by a veterinarian. There aren't many options for over-the-counter that are available, but here is a link to one that you could use until you are able to have him examined: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetericyn-cat-wound-and-skin-hydrogel# This disease does not appear to need extreme urgency unless Mingming is having any issues with discomfort during walking or the disease appears to be spreading. That said, I would still recommend having him examined by a veterinarian as soon as you can. Hope this helps!
