Nomilynn,

SAS has give you good advice. Two of my cats had acne pretty bad. Casey's (the oldest boy) went away on it's own. Maya Linn however had a BAD case of it. I end up taking her to the vet and he gave her antibiotics and kitty acne pads. It finally went away. Some cats are more susceptible to kitty acne than others, at least that's what my vet said. And it can be brought on by stress. I knew that it wasn't their dishes because they are all stainless steel. Another thing I found was to wash out their dishes every day. I wasn't doing that since they only eat dry food out of them. Bad mommy, baaaaaaad mommy!!!

If you want to to get rid of it on your own, wash the kitty's chin with an anti-bacterial soap twice a day and then put 10% benzoil peroxide cream on it. If it doesn't clear up, then it might be time for a trip to the vet.

Good luck.
