That year, I struggled in the mud of life, got used to the morning rush hour of the subway, and experienced my ideal thirty years. Just when I was sucking in the haze and missing my youth, I lowered my head and found that our cat had acne.
What the hell?
That's right, cats can also have acne, the scientific name is cat acne.
What is the disease of hair loss and acne on cat face?
Cat acne mainly grows on the lower lips and chin, and is a small acne similar to black dirt. The direct cause of this phenomenon is not clear, but it is mainly caused by cortical secretions and dandruff blockage in the hair follicles.
Because cats have the habit of washing their faces with their front paws, but they are not responsible for their chin, so food residues, lipids and dirt often accumulate on the chin, resulting in the birth of cats' acne.
The manifestation of cat acne
Part of the skin on the lower jaw is red and there are papules, and the pus and blood are discharged from the lesion. Some cats scratch itch, while others don't care at all. Symptom-based treatment is required. If a secondary infection occurs, it will induce pyoderma, keratin and itching.
The core points of treating chin acne
If the cat feels itchy, you need to put an Elizabeth hood on the cat and cut off the hair from the patient. Of course, don’t try to squeeze acne for your cat. Use prescription disinfectants to disinfect 1-2 times a day, and apply ointment after it is dry. After obtaining the prescribed antibiotic, injection and treatment are required. The recurrence rate of this disease is about 50%, so after the symptoms are eliminated, you should also try disinfecting 2-3 times a week.
Similar to humans, cat acne is a very common skin disease. Don’t worry about it or it won’t be contagious.
