So my cat has been developing these black specs on his chin. I took him to the vet at one point because he had a small open wound and some specs imbedded in his skin. She popped out the specs and told me the wound would heal on its own, she also suggested I switch to ceramic bowls. I asked her if I should be cleaning the area and she said no. Since then I've gotten rid of the plastic water fountain and have been leaving his skin alone. I kept an eye on it for a little while and it seemed to get a little better, but it fluctuated. I just looked at his chin tonight and he has a huge scab and no hair in that area, it was quite alarming because it seems like popped out of nowhere. He has been acting normal, nothing has changed; he doesn't seem itchy. I honestly don't even know what to do. I'm thinking of taking him back to the vet, but she wasn't very helpful last time. I'm just wondering if I'm overreacting or if this is something to be concerned about.
