&lt;p&gt;Young kittens - dermatophytes until proven otherwise I would say. Might be fun convincing owner that biopsy required if no other answers forthcoming.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: skin lesions kittens - any ideas?</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/24505?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Sep 2010 10:59:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:c5b76195-4a8f-4525-8a12-8bb1cda2ca1c</guid><dc:creator>Richard Fox</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Could be dermatophytic psuedomycetomas which are subcutaneous dermatophytic infection - What breed of cat as Persians are predisoposed. That said I would aspirate a couple of them and see what you draw out. Inflamm or Keratin i.e. cysts but cats rarely develop keratinous cysts. Unfortunately in my experience could be many things - what was the rate of onset? Progression?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I doubt given the presenation its pox or herpesvirus as these tend not to be &amp;quot;nodular&amp;quot; and are acute and most often ulcerative.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: skin lesions kittens - any ideas?</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/22532?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 17 Aug 2010 14:58:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:25ff18ba-8579-479f-8232-12aa0d81b644</guid><dc:creator>scarlet</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;all had been frontline sprayed just previously so will need an interval. dermatophytes/weird fungals&amp;nbsp;were top of my list and culture was mentioned but o prefers wait and see because &amp;quot;not bothering them&amp;quot; even tho i mentioned what a horror ringworm can be to a cat breeder if not dealt with promptly!! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;glad to see the suggestions are pretty much what i have considered - was wondering if there was some weird disease i&amp;#39;d missed!&lt;/p&gt;
