Why does my cat have red scabby bumps all over her body, what to do?

Hi. We discovered a hard bump on our cats neck. It is reddish in colour and has a small scab. We took her to the vet and had it tested and everything came back normal. Now we are finding them all over our cat. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks Dave.

It sounds like Misty might have allergies or a skin parasites. I would recommend another vet visit since the issue has changed since her initial presentation. She may need treatment for infection, parasites, or allergies now. Good luck!
