Hi Furiends! Today's video is all about Feline Acne. I would love to know, has your cat ever had acne? Let me know in the comments below. 😊

I had purchased everything recommended from the video, and this 100% solved my problem. Now he has a clean chin.😊😊😊Thank you so much!!!

A critical step is to wash all the cats bowls with warm soapy water every day. Pay special attention to the rims where the cat's chin touches. Switch out the bowls to glass or stainless steel Should the acne persist, apply a cream with 2.5 % benzyl peroxide lightly to the cat's chin after the cleaning steps above. xo

Did about 4 treatments on my tuxedo’s acne based on these steps (the acne was bad!!!), and it’s pretty much completely gone!! Thank you for a detailed step by step video.

I just did this for the first time today and it worked wonders. After cleansing my cats chin most of it was already gone. I'm definetely gonna keep doing this! I'm so happy!!

So sweet!! I love that he knows you're helping him 😘😘😘😘

Thank you for this video! Used it on my cat Percy today and so far so good

Just found your video! So funny because my kitty has this type of acne too and last week I ordered a flea comb because I thought it would work great! Glad to see it dues. Great idea 💡 🐈‍⬛

Our girl has her first chin acne at age 7. She is highly resistant to being handled. Your cat is inspiring. We will do our best with Jean Grey (X-Men). Thank you so much!

Thanks! Very informative and simple! :-)

I'm a bit relieved. I'm a new cat owner and my kitten has had acne on her chin but I had no idea what it was. I had never seen cat acne before and I was worried she had some sort of skin infection or something. Looks like this can be an easy fix. Thank you so much!

Just figured out my cat has this. It's super mild so I didn't want to have an expensive vet visit. Thank you so much for this info!

Not me scratching it off with my fingernails 😭

Thank you for this video. I have been noticing the little black dots on my Sebastian's chin for some time now but passed it off to food particles. Now that I know what it is, I am going to purchase the shampoo and flea comb. He is quite docile and loves to have his chin scratched, so am hoping for the best. That's Sebastian's picture with the mustache.

Thanks! My cat is white and I thought he had flease on his chin cause the black specs came out in the comb. I have everything but the special shampoo

My cat is 2yrs old she never had any problems and I’ve been feeding her with plastic bowls for months.. Today I found a tiny black dot on her chin and it had specks of black particles around so I’m guessing it’s a black head. She doesn’t have flees I’ve been medicating her against those and the vet just examined her. I’m gonna switch to metal bowls as soon as I can so she doesn’t get more. Won’t take any chance... Thanks for your video it’s really helpful! 😊

I’m so excited to do this for my boys! I can’t believe it never occurred to me that they can’t really clean their own chins like they can the rest of their bodies 🥺

THIS HELPED ME SO MUCHHH

Thank you for this video! Curious as to whether or not licking the shampoo during the wait period would be bad for kitty?

Thank you so much for this video! I just discovered my baby girl has acne and being the first time dealing with it, I thought it was flea dirt! But wow I didn’t realize they could get it too but I will definitely try this remedy out! May I ask where you got the shampoo from?

Posie is such a sweet boy

Hey! Great video, my cat Vincent has a case of mild to moderate acne. We were instructed to dampen his chin with warm water and then apply benzoyl peroxide shampoo and then wash it out. For how long should we do this? We dont comb him there in relation to this treatment, maybe we should? Vet didnt say anything about that.

I did exactly this process and no more black spots for my cat Spell! Thank you so much!

my first cat also had acne, my sister and i had never owned a cat before (i was 23 or 24) and we didn’t know about catne before she got it. we used warm water, cat shampoo, and makeup cotton pads to remove it every few days, just like this video. after we switched her to a stainless steel bowl, the catne just went away after two or so weeks and we never dealt with the issue again. i like how your cat kept moving places like “curse you mother, i’m trying to escape!!”

Good boy, Posie!

Thanks for the video. I have a cat that needs this treatment.

My cat has some acne on hes chin, & thanks to ur video I just learned something today.

I really liked your video 🤩☺️

Why am I addicted to these videos

Thank you!

Hello! I can't find a chlorhexidine shampoo for animals and specifically for cats here in my country, do you have any alternative for that? I can only find chlorhexidine hand soap :(

How is your cat so calm! My girl get so mad at me when I try to come near her chin.

My cat also has cat acne, sometimes breaks out on his chin and around his whiskers. He's a little stress pot apparently, so that might be a trigger. It's really mild, idk if I would have noticed if he wasn't a white cat. Cleaning definitely helps. I usually use fragrance free soap and warm water and/or a gentle alsol solution. Stress can surprisingly lead to a lot of physical ailments in pets, my kitty is also a bit predisposed to something called stress bladder. Took many vet visits to pinpoint it. He's not a very visibly anxious boy or anything either, but giving him a specific urinary stress kibble and calming drugs almost immediately solved the problem. Weird stuff.

Thanks!

My cat got zits under his chin, so I applied Witch Hazel which did the job, went away in 2 days. I threw out the plastic bowls and switched to stainless steal btw.

I seen one video about dipping a cotton ball in black tea instead of the shampoo and then because felines CAN’T clean the bottom of their chin they used antibiotic cream like neosporin and then instead of fine tooth comb, they just shave the chin every short. But the witch hazel I was wondering. That’s a good move as well.

So our one cat, Hobbes, has had minor acne issues in the past. Our vet didn't seem concerned. Today I had Hobbes and Lulu into the vet for checkups, and Hobbes had been having more of a breakout than usual. Our normal vet was out of town so we saw a substitute vet. He seemed more concerned. Sent me home with a blue liquid to clean and an ointment. Twice a day. I'm wondering if your process can be used as a preventative process after we get this breakout cleared up. Hobbes will be 8 in September. We have been using only stainless and ceramic bowls for several years now. I clean them all often or after one use for the wet food bowls. At a loss of what is causing this and what else to do for him.

I try to do that on one of my cats, but it was very bad that I had to make an appointment at the vet. I’ll keep that in mind if it comes back.

I'm totally getting new glass bowls for them... they've used plastic all there lives and both my kitties have mild chin acne. I never knew what it was... thought it was flea scat...

I was driving myself nuts with flea treatments thinking he had fleas and even the vet said he had fleas yet we never found one single flea and i have other pets to none of them have any signs of fleas so it was good to see this and consider this as a possibility of what else it may be

My cat had cat ance on his chin but he also had large whiteheads I was popping and he let me remove them. We were moving around to different locations and I think the moves stressed him out to the point that he developed a urinary problem he couldn’t pee I took him to the vet and they were like your cat is STRESSED they couldn’t find an infection or blockage that caused the urinary issue. As soon as we moved out to our current home hes been so happy.

Thank you! My cat is having this black things on his chin & I thought it was dirty but then I noticed it again after a day of bathing him. Glad to know I can clean it for him. I will try this & keep an eye to see if it gets better. Does it fully go away? And should I take away his water fountain that is plastic for stainless steel or ceramic? Thanks, again! Worried cat mom!

I'm excited to try this for my Opal!! We switched to stainless steel food bowls and water fountain. This helped her acne some, but it's still there and very mild. I will be trying this! 😁

Thanks for this vedio 🌹

Great video, I have two Maine coons and they don’t have any at the moment

thanks for the video! Did the cat acne completely resolve with this process? how long did it take to resolve and did it come back once you quit all these? Did you do this everyday? I am experiencing a similar situation I would be glad if you can reply. Thanks!

Would it work to gently clean it twice a day with a toothbrush? Using peroxide? I think that way would work best for Simba because he only stays calm for so long.

Really helpful video! Do you have any tips for getting your cat to sit still while doing this? My cat won’t let me hold her like you do in the video, she just wriggles away!

I'm wondering why you used Chlorhexidine Shampoo instead of Benzoyl Peroxide Shampoo? Are they interchangable? In addition to my cat starting to develop cat acne, she has several pimple like bumps, that scab and fall off over her body (they all healed) and now some new ones are present again. I wanted to spot clean with Chlorhexidine, but then I read up on Davis' Benzoyl Peroxide and don't know what the difference is. Any suggestions? Is one better than the other?

My cat has a badly swollen chin. The vet said he has cat acne with some infection and prescribed an antibiotic. He asked his water witching rods yes and no questions and said my cat is allergic to chicken. Creepy! He did not instruct me to clean the chin and do what you did. He did not tell me anything about plastic bowls. Thanks for the info and I will see if I can get it to work.

I’m not even sure what material my bowl is but I’m changing it anyway I really don’t trust it, my cats getting really old though so thats not helping, but hopefully ill be able to clear it soon :(

Thanku so much for your information . I am in india I have much searched the both shampoo and the hazel. I didn't get the both .... So is there any other way....

thanks for this!! ♡ found some “catne” on my kitty today, she was NOT a fan of the treatment but her chin is looking much better now:)) worth the struggle, i’ll definitely keep up with it

How frequently should you do this? Daily or weekly?

the tool by lucky pawison looks pretty good. they show it under dr pimple popper

Do you put the shampoo everyday? Or just twice a week? Thank you!!!

Hey sweetie! Your video is just what I was looking for... but before I start...can u tell me if the shampoo will sting my kitty cat? What about the witch hazel? I have a 15 month old male Blue Bicolor Ragdoll cat and he has developed this condition. Thank you in advance for answering. I want to go ahead and begin treatment as soon as I can. -Courtney

How often do you need to do this treatment? Every day to this level for the rest of his life? Also what do you recommend for cats that struggle to sit for it - mine hates his chin being touched at all!

Wow, that is one well behaved cat

My cats both have quite mild chin acne and i didn't know about the witch hazel thing till this evening. I'd just been cleaning with baby shampoo and water and keeping a close eye on them, my boy has it worse than his sister be doesn't like me touching his head very much so i made the choice to shave his chin so i could more easily see the problem and reduce the stress i was putting him through (he'd already lost some fur due to it) now i can see and easily and quickly treat his chin even if he does look a like silly i think it was the best choice while treating him

Hi thankyou so much for this video. I thought my cat had dried food on his chin. From mina in London.

My 10 year old cat started getting bad chin acne after I changed his food. I’m going to get one of those cat licking food mats and change his food as well as clean his chin.

How do you prevent it from reoccurring? I clean my cat's chin every couple of days with a similar method and the "dirt" keeps coming back. Maybe I need to buy that special shampoo. I change her food bowl every single meal and she doesn't have the bowl lying around all day so there is no risk of bacteria building in the food. I also only use ceramic plates for her. She has access to a pet water fountain too. Could it be an allergy to food? She's been eating the same type of food for over a year, so I don't know why it's suddenly come up, she's never had this issue before. She is almost 2 years old. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!

My poor kitty is bengal, she’s 7 and never had acne ever until two months ago, it seemed like overnight that it got bad! Her chin has huge sores, and she became depressed. So I took her to the vet, she’s been on amoxicillin a steroid for 3 to 4 weeks her chin wasn’t inflamed any longer and red but the sores and the swelling were still there and in fact she didn’t just have blackhead she had white pustules. So I took her back to the same vet for the second time who said she thought it was looking a little better but it did look better only because they weren’t so inflamed but her whole chin was still covered in red sore pustules and large blackheads so I could not comb her chin and barely could I even touch her because they hurt. The vet then stopped the oral medication and prescribed a topical anti-bacterial medication Dermotologist use but her chin after using that for two weeks has not gotten better either and I just feel so bad and don’t know what else to do other than get a second opinion which I am leaning towards now. Any suggestions would be so helpful for me because I’ve changed all of her food dishes even though she never ate out of plastic to begin with I actually stopped using the steel and only use porcelain. I’m not sure how this came about I did have a baby 7-8 months ago but she doesn’t seem stressed about that but I will say I have many baby toys that are colored plastics and I wonder if that is actually how this all started and I wanna know if anybody thinks so too I guess? It’s the only huge change we’ve had!

Not sure if I missed it. But how often do you do it?

My vet recommended benzoyl peroxide.

My three cats have this with varying severities all over their body not just their face

And You rinse the clorhexidin shampoo or is not necesary?

Is the witch hazel safe if they lick their chin?

You use the 2 percent chlorhexodine shampoo?

Hello, my little kitten has some acne under his chin, its been almost 9 days with the witch hazel but nothing. I have only been using the witch hazel and nothing else. Where can i get that shampoo that she washed his chin with?

I touched them and tried to remove them with my bars hands thinking they were some dirt from playing outside do they have a bad impact on human ?

Dermatologists are now saying not to use witch hazel on skin anymore like they used to think it was good and now they think it’s too strong and not necessary to be helpful. Just sharing since I watch a lot of board certified dermatologists on KZfaq and was curious about witch hazel

My cat has very severe acne and it’s gotten to her top lip so I’m taking her to the vet on saturday

My kitty has mild acne, but im too afraid to try and treat it (the vet said she's fine and its not necessary to do anything atm) bc i have a picking disorder and really don't want to hurt her. But these videos are SO satisfying and i can't explain why

I’m looking for information on pimples that I have lately been finding on my cat. These aren’t on his chin - they’re around the area of his neck, front and back both. They’re bigger that the blackheads you show in the video. They don’t seem to bother him at all and he doesn’t mind my touching them. But they bother me! I feel them when I pet him and I don’t know what’s going on that is causing these things.

My cat had acne. I noticed her white chin started to turn black at the fur roots. Took her to the vet who gave me a hexachlorophene solution to clean her with cotton pads. He recommended getting rid of plastic dishes - so I use glass now. It got worse with oozing and scabbing as it healed. Hasn’t happened since I changed dishes and clean water daily. =^..^=

Currently dealing with mild acne in my 9 month old boy and pretty severe acne in my 1.5 year old boy. And I'm basically doing the washing with a cotton pas and warm water, combing, and a little tiny bit of a benzoyl peroxide creme on the 1.5 year old

thank you! my 9 year old cat has started getting acne because we switched the bowl her chicken wing is in.. because i melted the other one in the oven... we're gonna get a better bowl and ill make sure to treat the acne :)) thanks!

Is there any substitute to Chlorhexidine shampoo...? I can't find chlorhexidine shampoo in my area.

Would Chlorhexidine spray work also?

I have a question is how do you know if it Feline Acne or it just plain dirt because I wipe some off with a wet warm water paper towel and two black dots came off my cats chin? My cat is 8 years old if that changes anything

Hi! My cat has chin acne too. Am I supposed to do all the steps you did every day ??

My cat has these black specks at the base of her whiskers not her chin. Do you think that is acne too?

I taught my cat had fleas. Lol

Very informative video! I find a soft tooth brush is also good to brush out the black heads just don’t steal your partners one they may get a little dark 😂 😊

How can you do it when is all around the mouth and whiskers? Same thing? I brought my cat to the vet with just a tiny bit of acné, and they gave me some medicated pads that just make it worst! From a little bit, now she’s severely affected because of that medication. After that they gave me MICRO BP gel. Hopefully will help. But I’ll apply after some gel to take away the irritation. I feel so bad for her 😞

This definitely works! My cat was acne free for 2 months but it suddenly came back :( I guess it’s normal??? Even my veterinarian doesn’t know what to say lol.

Povidone-Iodine worked markedly better than chlorhexidine shampoo on our kitty.

i saw that on my cat but i didnt know what that was i had a clay bowl that was for water she loved water

Can i use mouth wash contains chlorohexedine in it? I didn't find this shampoo in my place

My cat gets acne every 3 days no matter how we brush clean it even if we switch all bowls with ceramics, only way is to shave it after shaving it, it never came back

My cats acne is actually under his skin. It looks like a human blackhead and I am unable to remove them easily like in this video. It’s not severe or anything but he has had this problem for awhile.

where do I buy that shampoo?

What if it bleeding cause my cat hade one pimple like thing on her chin the siz of the smalist marble and now there are 3 and it looks lie they were bleeding at some point please i love my cat do think you can help?

What of its more and red but uour perents wont let you go to the vet ? Plz jelp me !!

My cat just has 1 big cat acne on his chin. Is that normal?

Iwant to have like that cat🐈😍

a question if my cat gets blackheads in another part of the body do I have to do the same?

How can I do this when my cat is resistant to me washing under her chin? I was told from her vet just soap and water. I can never get more then a few seconds with soap and water before she is so upset and gets free and runs. Any suggestions?she is 9 years old
