Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.

I don't this represents some type of disease. I think more likely represents a reaction.

A couple of possibilities regarding what might be causing the reaction.One possibility is sensitivity to detergent on the sheets. Another possibility is that you are allergic to the cat hair or cat dander.

I would recommend that you apply some hydrocortisone cream to your skin once or twice daily for the next few days.I would anticipate that your symptoms should slowly improve over the next three or four days.

Thank you again for sending your question.

Sincerely,
