Do you know how your cat got the scabs on his head? This could be a result of a poxvirus which has to be treated with medication. It could also be a fungal or bacterial infection. I think you need to determine the cause before applying a treatment, so a trip to the vet may be necessary.

∙ 13y agoWell for my cat i gently rub Neosporin on her where her scabs are. But it depends on if the scabs are from like scratching itself or some other sickness?!?!?!! If it is like a rash then see a vet for special medication. Some people prefer to use all natural ointment though.............
