Hello. Icarus may have a mild case of allergic dermatitis. The first thing is to make sure she is on the best flea preventative that your veterinarian recommends, even if she is strictly indoors. If she is not particularly itching, grooming excessively or losing hair, there may not be much you need to worry about. If it is causing her some problems, please see your vet for treatments to relieve the itching. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
