Vetericyn Plus Antimicrobial Hydrogel
Vetericyn Plus is positioned as a gentle, broad-spectrum antimicrobial hydrogel designed to keep feline lesions moist while reducing surface bioburden; its non-antibiotic, non-steroidal approach makes it a go-to for owners who prefer an over-the-counter, low-risk option for spot treatment. Compared with enzyme- or steroid-containing competitors on this list, Vetericyn’s straightforward hydrogel formula is often more budget-friendly and widely available, making it a practical first-line adjunct for cat skin and coat issues that require frequent, gentle application.

Zymox Topical Cream with Hydrocortisone
Zymox Topical Cream combines an enzyme-based antimicrobial system with hydrocortisone to address both microbial load and acute inflammation/itching in localized feline skin problems, giving it a technical advantage when rapid anti-inflammatory effect is needed. Compared with purely antiseptic gels like Vetericyn or chlorhexidine formulations, Zymox may provide faster symptomatic relief but carries the tradeoff of a steroid component that can limit long-term use or be less suitable when fungal infections are a concern.

Curaseb Antifungal & Antibacterial Chlorhexidine Gel
Curaseb’s chlorhexidine-based gel blends broad antiseptic activity with antifungal agents to target both bacterial and fungal contributors to feline skin lesions, making it a strong choice when ringworm or mixed infections are suspected. Technically it offers stronger topical antimicrobial potency than plain hydrogels and—while it can be more expensive per tube than basic antiseptics—its dual-action formula can reduce the need for multiple separate products in a treatment plan.
