Hi there! Just wondering if anyone else’s Sphynx gets these weird dark patches. They’re located primarily on her belly in the leg folds-armpits. I’ve tried coconut oil with no luck. It’s seems periodic where its really dark and other days hardly noticeable. Not sure if this is just her pigmentation or yeast or what!? Anyone else experience this?

This is exactly what my cat has! I don’t want to scrub too hard…. But I have cleaned it with soap, coconut oil and literally Dawn. It doesn’t come off. Did yours ever go away for your little one?

It could be yeast or due to your litter? You might try Malaseb shampoo to see if it helps.

Had the vet check it out said it wasn’t yeast or a reaction to litter, also didn’t think it was oil either because it’s not actually oily. Thought it was pigment….. but to be honest it seriously looks like dirt lol
