Why is my 7-week-old kitten's fur thinning and showing pink skin?

I have 4 kittens 7 weeks old. One kitten is losing its fur. Fur is thinning all over the body and you can see its little pink body. Other kittens are fine. Please can you help/. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 12 days old

I would bring Kitten 4 to the vet for a checkup if you haven't already. Not getting enough nutrition, an underlying illness or metabolic issue, or even something such as parasites/fungal/skin infections could be causing hair loss. Excessive grooming by the kitten or mom may also cause hair loss in the areas where it is scratched or licked too much. If kitten is bothered by it, using an e-collar or tiny t-shirt to prevent scratching and chewing may help until your vet can take a look to determine the cause.
