My cat's painful chin rash is bleeding and won't heal. What to do?

Question

My cat has a rash under her mounth. It first appeared when we got a male cat, at the time she wasn't sterilized. She always scratches it, until it bleeds. She's moody and we think that it is painful for her. We took her to the vet that recommended that we cleaned the zone with iodine, but it only got worst. What can we do? We don't let her go outside and give her good food and clean water. Can it be because of the stress? Now we have another cat and he bothers her and the rash got worst.

Mia Rubi's chin looks like it definitely bothers her. I would actually recommend antibiotics to help with the infection. I would also recommend getting an elizabethan collar so she cannot scratch at her chin until it heals. I would definitely get a recheck with your veterinarian and see if they will treat Mia Rubi with oral medication. Her chin is getting worse from Mia Rubi scratching and rubbing it.
