I noticed the other day she had a little tiny red scab above her eye so I was watching it. Well yesterday, I noticed it got bigger and bleeding. I decided to put antibiotic cream on it as well as her cone just in case. I have no idea what it is.  She doesn’t seem to be itchy and I don’t think it bothers her but I’m just worried of what it is and if I’m doing the right thing. Also, she is not a feral cat, I got her spayed a couple weeks ago and they messed up and clipper her ear🙄 She is almost one, pure bred Manx, and weighs about 5 pounds. 4BB65FD0-57A5-4693-AE96-9D866F8E6F79

Hello!  When it comes to skin diseases, they can broadly be classified into itchy or non itchy (although sometimes non itchy lesions get infected, which itches and messes this up).  Non itchy lesions that commonly occur after a traumatic incident (such as being speyed - in the nicest clinic in the world, speying is still a little stressful) as sometimes linked to drops in immunity and can include Demodectic mange (and also some fungal or hormonal issues).  If this doesn't resolve then your vet may decide to scrape for demodex or carry out other tests.

Other possibilities may include hormonal diseases or fungal growth.  We would advise that it is worth a vet appointment.
