Your cat doesn't show any symptoms of chin acne. Chin acne in cats is a poorly understood disorder of follicular keratinization. Changing to steel or ceramic bowls for your cat’s food and water is often hailed as an easy and effective way to prevent acne from developing. Regular cat grooming is important as well as it helps avoid many skin problems.
Your cat shows one common symptom of chin acne. Consult with your veterinarian, and he should give you instructions based on the observed clinical sign. If he suspects chin acne he will perform a physical exam of your pet. Diagnosis is generally based on medical history and clinical signs. Treatment often involves improved hygiene. Replacing plastic food and water dishes with nonporous, smooth-surfaced dishes like glass or stainless steel (and washing them daily) may resolve chin acne in some cats.

Sreten null
Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
