Hot spots in cats (skin inflammation) – effective biological treatment
Introduction
Hot spots, or acute moist dermatitis, are less common in cats than in dogs, but can be just as troublesome. The condition is characterised by rapid development of lesions, itching and pain. It can be caused by allergies, parasites (fleas, mites), injuries or excessive licking. In some cats, skin lesions are recurrent and can lead to chronic inflammation.
Symptoms of hot spots in cats:
- oozing, moist skin lesions,
- redness and soreness of the skin,
- intense scratching and licking of the affected area,
- rapid enlargement of the inflammatory focus,
- secondary bacterial or fungal infections.
Standard methods of treatment
Traditionally, cleansing and disinfecting the lesions, shaving the hair around the wound, and using antibiotics and glucocorticosteroids to reduce inflammation are used. This treatment brings improvement, but does not always prevent recurrence, especially if the source of the problem is allergies or chronic skin diseases.
Nowoczesne terapie biologiczne
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)
MSCs reduce excessive immune responses and decrease inflammation. They can be used in cats with recurrent skin problems, supporting skin regeneration and limiting the recurrence of hot spots.

PRP – platelet-rich plasma
PRP supports skin regeneration, improves microcirculation and has a strong anti-inflammatory effect. When applied topically, it accelerates the healing of lesions and reduces the risk of infectious complications.
Terapia IL-1
W przewlekłych stanach zapalnych skóry blokada szlaku IL-1 może zmniejszyć nasilenie zapalenia, złagodzić ból i wspierać proces gojenia.

Step-by-step approach
- Stage 1 – mild skin changes: PRP as the first line of biological therapy.
- Stage 2 – recurrent hot spots: MSC as an immunomodulatory and regenerative method.
- Stage 3 – severe and resistant cases: IL-1 in combination with supportive therapies.
Summary
Hot spot in cats is a painful and troublesome skin disease, the treatment of which requires not only symptomatic measures, but also therapies that support natural regenerative processes. Modern biological methods – PRP, MSC and IL-1 – offer a real chance to reduce recurrence and improve the cat's quality of life.
FAQ
Sometimes spontaneous healing occurs, but treatment is usually required to avoid infection and recurrence.
Yes – platelet-rich plasma collected from the patient is used, which eliminates the risk of an immune reaction.
Yes – they are safe and effective, especially in chronic and recurrent skin inflammations..
In severe cases, resistant to conventional treatment and recurrent hot spots.
