Why is my cat's skin red near her mouth and eyes? What can I do?

Question

My cat has red skin above her mouth and above both her eyes .. what is that ?? and what is the possible treatment ??

This is probably caused by an allergic reaction. first of all make sure you de-flea your cat regularly every month with a high quality spot on (ex. Advantage) as fleas are by far the most common reason for these reactions. If the fleas are not the problem, it could be an allergic reaction to food or an environmental factor. this is more complicated to treat and will sometimes require medications such as Steroids, anti histamines or cyclosporin in order to stop the allergy.
