Hi Ralph, thanks for your question. I recommend that you take Jinx into see a veterinarian. The spot that you are describing along with the scratching can be caused by a few different things including infection, allergies, feline acne, or an underlying medical issue. Your vet can talk to you more about the cause of the symptoms after they have examined him. The treatment that he needs will depend on the underlying cause and severity of his symptoms.
