When my cat scratches me I get these raised bumps on my skin2007-11-25 12:30:09

Its kinda like when you get bitten by a mosquito. Really white and surrounded by red.

Answers:

It sounds like you might be allergic to cats. Take some Benadryl and put a little hydrogen peroxide on the wound to clean it. Anti-itch cream like Cortaid can help reduce the redness and itching. If it happened while you were playing with the cat, wearing long sleeves next time (or jeans, depending on where kitty likes to scratch you) can help.

Your allergic to cats..just dont get scratched. Wash it then put gold bond cream or something on it to stop the itching and it goes away in a day or so

It's an allergic reaction. Wash the area with soap and water, or peroxide. To keep it from happening again cut your cats nails. De-clawing a cat is so cruel and cost money. Cutting there nails is so much cheaper and causes no pain for them. I cut all my three cats nails once sometimes twice a week. You can go buy special nail clippers for them, you can get some for use with dogs and cats together or either or. Cost like maybe ten dollars. Not really expensive at all. Just like our nails you only cut them so far down. You might want to call someone over to gently hold your cat. Or call a groomer, they will show you how to do it without getting bit, clawed, or hurting both you and the cat.

First off, is your cat an indoor or an outdoor? If they are an outdoor just remember animals dig in the dirt to cover their scent so there are a number of things that could be attributing to your symptoms.
