Dirt spots that won't go away

[amhoneyliz]

Hi there. My sphynx Ophelia has developed built up oil areas on her belly back legs, around her butt and one spot on her neck. I know it is not her coloring because she didn't have these spots when I first got here a year ago when she was three. I've tried washing the area and I tried coconut oil. She gets a bath weekly and I was hoping someone could shed some light on why she has these dirty areas and why I can't get rid of them also if anyone has any suggestions on how to get rid of them that would be much appreciated !

Can you post a picture?

I would invest in some D'greaser! I get rid of Patrick's most stubborn spots with that stuff!

try putting some coconut oil on it before bath rime. This helps get the spots off Hairry

If you could post a picture that would be great, some members might be able to tell you if it looks more like some skin condition/discoloration rather than dirt. Even my most stubborn dirt comes off with a good washing (coconut oil / pure pet d'grease)

This is what it looks like except her neck is just one spot and has faded so I couldn't get a good picture. I'll definitely be purchasing some degreaser. Thank you for all of your suggestions

Some owner's here has cats with and it's the colouring instead of dirt.
But, if coconut or de grease doesn't take it off, it probably is.
Use a little before bath and rinse 2 or 3 times, or it will make them greasier.
I don't care much for the De greased, it doesn't work for Izmae.
Nor does coconut oil.
Maybe it's because, I don't need eighter one for her.
I only shampoo her in HyLyT Shampoo. It's a great shampoo.

It might be just pigment. My black guy Monday has a few splotches that look very similar.

That does not look like dirt. As they age, they get hyper-pigmentation, or it can be from lounging in the sun.

I'm having the same issue and now my sphynx is really dry an flaky. I used degreaser and it made his skin drier. I'm at my wits end. I have no idea what to do.
