How To Prevent And Treat Cat Acne
What Is Cat Acne?
Cat acne is a skin condition mostly affecting the chin and lip margins in cats, and it can affect cats of any gender, age, or breed. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged, resulting in blackheads (comedones). 41
These blocked follicles can infect and form pimples (pustules) or boils (furuncles). It looks like a dirty chin in mild cases; in more severe cases, the surrounding skin may also become swollen and infected.
