Like Teresa, from your description, I think maybe it sounds like a granuloma and wait to hear what vet says.  If it is, I think keeping on top of flea treatment is recommended in addition to whatever vet prescribes.

Hope all is OK Philip.  Sending a  :hug: for Bertie

How is Bertie today?  Hopefully it's something simple like a sore.  Let us know if you take him to the vet and what they say.

One of my ragdolls has what looks like a cold sore just below his nose.

I only noticed it this morning and it definitely wasn't there yesterday.

I will take him to the vets tomorrow but has anyone seen this in their cat before and if so what was it ?

It bled a little today when I examined it and it feels like a very small lump.

I am a bit worried at the moment. Can anyone advise.

 :thanks:
