this could have been a sore that has bursted. Probably puss which means its infected and you should see a vet for some antibiotics and wound clean up procedure. This is most likely not ring worm i have seen ring worm many many times in my shelter and it has never been white. But see a vet furshure. Good luck!

It sounds like a fungus or a wound healing. You should take it to the vet and have it checked. It could also be from scratching fleas. Here's some good info:

Sounds like fly larva. Give him a bath like now in a really good flea and tick shampoo. If that doesn't help, take him to the vet.

That could be a number of things, but you need to take the kitty to the vet just in case it is a cyst, cancer, or something like worms or maggots......
How long has it been that way???

It could be tapeworms. You can take her to the vet and get a fecal check or you can just deworm her.
