You don't need either one. Ask your primary care doctor to order a blood test for allergy to cat. When it comes back you will then have a decision to make. If positive, most would say, remove the cat. It will still take time for all the cat antigen to leave your environment. Cat will be on clothes, furniture, carpets etc.
If negative then start with derm or primary care. Eczema is not some rare disorder where only a specialist can manage the initial steps.
