Why does my cat have bald spots behind his ear and under his chin?

Question

My cat has a bald spot behind his ear and a little bald spot under his chin. The skin does not look irritated or like a rash. It is just a bald spot. He is 4 years old and sheds like a normal cat. He usually sheds less than his sister. He often has bloody stools but the last vet I took him to for the bloody stools told me that he was okay and I guess sometimes cats just have bloody stools. I am concerned. What should I do? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 4 years and 2 months old

I think you should get a second opinion from another vet. There are many causes of hair loss from the ears. They include fungal infections, fur mite or flea infestation, allergies from food and/or the environment, hormonal imbalances, environmental conditions, autoimmune disease, dietary deficiencies, behavioral issues, etc.
