My cat scratched a mole on my neck. It bled a lot and it's like half off right now. I put neosporin and a bandaid on it, will it heal on it's own or should I go to a dermatologist?

it will probably heal on its own. Be sure to keep it really clean. Cat's claws can have pieces of all kinds of stuff like cat feces, small clumps of cat litter and traces of ammonia. (they dig in their litter box.). Keeping it disinfected is really important.

get it checked out by a dermatologist, or just your doctor. even if it wasn't on a mole, cat claws are not clean and the neck is a rather important part of the body. you may end up needing a tetnus shot if it is a bad scratch.

I think if it starts to heal it will be okay and dr appt not needed however if it starts to look like it is getting infected then go to the dr . good luck .
