I think my cat has feline acne, does it look like that to you? She does eat from a plastic bowl, which I removed today.
Nice reminder that how we humans feel has an impact on our cats, and like @stephanietx has said, stress can be a really big factor in acne. I know when I'm stressed or unhappy Mouse always shows signs of his herpes and it's a wake up call for me to get healthy.

How about feeling happy that you have such a great healthy cat?She'll be upset when you're sad, but notice when you're happy, for sure
My cat's chins looks the same. I never used plastic for their feeding bowls, but didn't think much about it when I purchased their pet water fountains. I assumed because they weren't feeding from it that it wouldn't be an issue, but that may not be the case.I think my cat has feline acne, does it look like that to you?

I thought i saw that salisylic acid was dangerous to cats. I believe it's related to aspirin.My little baby girl cat has acne too, but I have always used ceramic bowls, so I don't know what else to do. I switched from bowls to plates, so the sides of the bowls don't rub on her chin. I have had 2 male cats (2 years) and they have never had this problem, still don't, but the new girl cat has. Also, when I feed them wet food, it is on a paper plate, which is immediately thrown away after every meal, so I can't imagine what the problem was. She has always had the problem since I've had her (2 months). I've tried brushing it away gently with a toothbrush, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, witch hazel. Help!
