There is no way to give an accurate opinion without doing a physical exam, so I’m sorry I can’t help you more. The one on the back of his neck may be due to his collar which would be consistent with contact dermatitis. If he’s rubbing his nose excrsssively that too could be some type of contact dermatitis. I would recommend you follow up with your vet if you feel that Mau isn’t improving. I hope that’s helpful, thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
