jason....that looks exactly like the scabs Frodo had...it was mostly a flea allergy in her case, although we did get them to diminish considerably by changing her diet and will EFA supplements, they never fully went away until we started applying just a small amount of Advantage to her for fleas. We don't even put the full dose on for her weight...about half of it. She's not an outdoor cat but goes on the screen porch. But Frodo had dozens of these on her....it was awful, we would find the scabs lying all over the house :-&
