Hendricks has cat acne.... yup - that's a thing.

Shows as black bits in fur under chin and flares up occasionally, causing redness and soreness.

Need to make a quick visit to the vets this afternoon to clean up and medicate.

One of ours developed this (was relatively mild) after drinking from pots of water in the garden that were filled with rain water. Got rid of pots and cleaned chin everyday with salted boiled water. Cleared it up ok.

Yeah; i've tried cleaning it up but it's clearly irritating him and he's scratching it when we're not around.

Hopefully the vet can give us something to clear this bout and we can try to keep on top of it with more regular cleaning moving forward.
