my first thought was the ringworm restarting, but if the vet saw her and OK'd it I feel much better.
If you could get an "anti-itch" cream (hydrocortisone) you could rub some onto the spot to discourage further biting at the fur.

I also discovered some abnormalities on Inka's head: look like ucers. There is a crust on, and it feels like a "ball".
So, I am taking both to the vet at 5.30 pm. Cross paws and tails that everything is treatable....

Poor little girls! I sure hope that it's nothing serious! Good luck at the vet, let us know what happens!

Back home!! Well, I am glad I tried this new vet out! He examined both cats really thoroughly!
Maya: looks like she is allergic to fleas! That spot looks like a reaction to maybe just 1 flea! So she got a shot to give that skin a chance to heal without being itchy. From now on I have to give her Frontline every month!
Inka : The vet thinks she was bitten by 2 ticks. As she scratched of the crusts, she has 2 open wounds on her forehead. She has to take anti-biotics during 10 days!
Oh my, I am so glad I followed my intuition that they needed help!!

I'm sorry to hear that both girls have skin issues.
Back up to 3 cats
Well I'm glad to hear that it is something which is easily treated. Poor girls! Antibiotics for 10 days is quite a lot! Is Inka easily to pill?
