Just like teenagers suffer from acne, so can cats, but it is because cats cannot clean their chins properly] A cat’s chin is one of the few places it cannot reach with its tongue to clean itself properly, so the end result may be a case of acne.

The cat’s chin will become somewhat swollen (very noticeable) and blackheads will start to form. It is at this point that, sooner or later, you should seek advice from your veterinarian about treatment.

If allowed to progress naturally, your cat’s blackheads will develop into painful nodules and scabbing or crusting of the skin. This also is very uncomfortable for the cat. There are products that your cat can discuss with you to assist in the removal of the acne. Follow the link to the website of Franksville Veterinary Clinic to learn more.
