Generally stud tail will resolve over 3-4months as the hair cycle grows and new hairs develop but in some cases it can take much longer. A skin support diet or natural omega fatty acid supplement can help; topical creams such as comfrey, aloe vera or calendula can be useful but should be applied sparingly as cats are inclined to groom and ingest creams
