I often hear cat friends say that their kittens have acne, and we often ignore it and think that it is a very small thing. However, after a period of time, some people's cats will have some terrible symptoms and look very ugly. In fact, cat acne is easy to treat. Xiaomian will explain to you the treatment of cat acne.
Acne is a common skin disease in cats. It is often caused by keratosis of hair follicles and gland hyperplasia. It is more common on the chin and lower lip, and occasionally on the upper lip. The usual age of onset is between 6 and 14 years old, not just "puberty".
Some cats appear only at a certain age, while others appear periodically or persist. In the early stage, it may be just acne, and some of them only stay in the acne stage, while others will develop into papules and pustules. In severe cases, Zhengba will become red and thicker, and folliculitis and furunculosis, accompanied by bacterial infection. Cats often scratch and rub their chin on furniture.
Appropriate systemic antibiotics for at least 2-3 weeks to treat any secondary bacterial infection. Cut off the hair from the damaged area, warm water and hot compress, and use human acne pads or benzoyl peroxide, sulfur salicylic acid or shampoo containing ethyl lactate to clean, once every 1-2 days until recovery. The treatment is then maintained as needed.
