Hello, sorry to hear about your kitten. It appears as though that hair loss may be associated with either a local skin infection or ringworm. You can apply a little triple antibiotic as long as she doesn't lick or get into her eyes. Otherwise, since you aha been putting micodom on for some time, you can monitor for any itchiness, further hair loss, bleeding, or discharge and contact your veterinarian if you note any of this. Hope this helps and best of luck.
