Unfortunately, there is no generic medication that will just treat general skin disease, and the problem requires being seen by a vet in order to narrow down the cause of the illness and the appropriate treatment. Issues such as parasites, fungal diseases, infections of the skin, nutritional issues, etc can all cause skin issues so this is why it is important to have a veterinary exam done. Until you can find a vet, you can use an Elizabethan (cone) collar to keep the cats from licking or chewing at any affected areas. Keeping any wounds clean and dry may help, as well as making sure both cats are on a balanced diet and treated for parasites. However, if the problem persists, it needs to be seen.
