The reply was chlorhexidine or betadine. <br />A poly with a 100% cotton woven gauze ( the old fashioned kind that looks like cheese cloth not the mon woven stuff. Make a few passes with the chlorhexidine or betadine. Use this if it is the black, gritty type of acne. Do not use a toothbrush. Too abrasive. If the skin is ulcerated, cratered or is bleeding you need to get the cat to the vet who will probably give her an antibiotic shot, and will advise you on how to treat the affected area. The skin might have been treated in a too aggressive fashion, the acne is severe, also there may be a secondary infection. Don't shave the chin this will only leave the tender <br />tissue exposed and lead to infection. And discomfort. <br />I tried to reply when I was in my vets office but my cell battery died. Hope this helps a bit. We are here in "Podunk", but are vets are pretty good. Our human doc's are another issue.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172029625828982319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305853571849549221.post-80957614018274790202012-01-10T15:11:05.562-05:002012-01-10T15:11:05.562-05:00Hi Deb:

I wanted to tell you that my first kitty, Seymour, had pretty severe acne at one point on his pure white chin. What finally did the trick was a dab of over-the-counter pHisoHex acne cream (for humans) on a cotton ball once or twice a day, washing and drying thoroughly with water afterwards. He actually lost the fur on his chin at one point, but it grew back again even fluffier. It took one person to hold him and another to apply the cream and rinse. After I found the fix, if he would ever show signs of a sore developing, I would use the pHisoHex again for a day or two, and that would calm it down. My vet at the time said feline acne can be caused by food allergies, hormones, stress, among other things. He did seem to outgrow it, a typical teenager. :) Who knows ~ those furries just keep us guessing, don't they? <br /><br />Good luck, Rosieclarenceandoliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10511722162478540215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305853571849549221.post-54283451106266532892012-01-10T14:25:13.850-05:002012-01-10T14:25:13.850-05:00Our cat had acne and it actually took an antibioti...Our cat had acne and it actually took an antibiotic injection to clear it up. I think some cats are just prone to it. Deb, I love your blog and your life seems so lovely. The other night, not wanting to go back to work, I was envisioning a new career as a catsitter - what could be better.

Try removing anything with a lip or that is bowl like and try feeding on plates in stead so the chin doesn't rub up against anything while she eats.Connie - Tails from the Foster Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127077337743262149noreply@blogger.com
