what causes kitty acne?
Plastic food bowls are porous and can trap bacteria, which is then transferred to the catâs chin. The exact cause of feline acne isnât known. There are several possible causes, including stress, poor grooming by human companions or by the cat herself, over-active sebaceous glands, and food allergies. However you proceed, always consult your veterinarian before treating your pet at home, and good luck.
Feline chin acne can often be mistaken for just a âdirty chinâ. This dirty look is caused by scabs and crusts stemming from infected hair follicles and plugged oil glands. Your catâs chin may be swollen and painful. Sadly because of the pain, your cat may even stop eating.
