My Kewpie gets that from time to time, she's a shaded silver persian, which means basically white.

When I see a small breakout, I take over and gently bathe the area with warm water, sometimes they do bleed a very tiny amount, but usually not, then on goes the Neosporin.

There are different kinds of Neosporin, (cant buy it here in Canada, so when in the U.S. I stock up) I use the *ointment* with PAIN RELIEF, there is also cream (which seems messier). If it does the same thing for her as it does for me on a cut, it's miraculous, regarding pain. A couple of times a day and usually the outbreak is all healed within 48 hours of treatment.
