Everything about Feline Acne totally explained
Feline acne is a common problem seen in cats. In most cases symptoms are are mild and pass unnoticed. More severe cases, however, may respond slowly to treatment and seriously detract from the appearance of the cat. Feline
acne can affect cats of any age, sex or breed.
Sebaceous glands are mostly found in the skin of the chin, base of the tail, eyelids, lips,
prepuce and scrotum. They are connected to the
hair follicles. In acne, the follicles become clogged with black sebaceous material, forming
comedones (also known as blackheads). These comedones become irritated, swollen and infected, leading to pustules. The cats may also experience itching and discomfort due to swelling and bacterial growth inside infected glands.
