I have been using stridex pads on her chin and it is
starting to look better. I have changed her dishes.
I didn't take her to the vet because she gets really
scared (bless her heart) but I described it to the
doctor and they agreed that it sounded like cat acne.
Thanks for telling me about
Could it be chin acne?

I thought about that. The vet had told me before with
some of my other cats to use a stridex pad. I used
that on her last night. I thought I would wait a
couple of days to see if looked any better.

Hi, sounds like feline acne. Your vet can give you an ointment that will help clear it up. Also, never use plastic food or water bowls, they get tiny scratches which harbor germs even when disinfected. Use clean ceramic, glass, or stainless bowls daily. My Blue had this, I was changing her water
Thanks I will do that. All of her bowls are plastic.
I will go get new ones tonight.

Hi Cindy,
It sounds like feline acne. Do you use plastic dishes? There are other
conditions that resemble it. It's good that you are keeping it clean,
her chin can become infected if you don't take care of it. Here's the

I just read on an herbalist's list serve that a very small amount of castor
oil rubbed on feline acne is supposed to help. But I would get it
diagnosed, and remove plastic dishes if it is. Then, if you want to read the
herbalist's recs on this, let me know and I will find the link.

Amazingly for the feline acne I use Benzol peroxide, a dab of the 5%
generic cream or gel. But I have had such good luck with the stuff on my
dogs hot spots also. We used it with great success for even bed sores
when I worked with a dermatologist, so I gave it
