Cure for Acne on a Feline
- 1). Wash the skin area infected with acne with an antibacterial soap. Moisten a cloth with warm water and place a small amount of soap on the cloth. Gently rub the area in a circular motion, cleaning the skin completely. Rinse thoroughly.
- 2). Moisten a cloth or cotton ball with a solution of hydrogen peroxide. Press gently on the acne area and allow the solution to saturate the skin for a moment. Remove the cloth or cotton ball and allow the skin to dry.
- 3). Discuss which topical ointment containing both vitamin A and retinoids is most appropriate to use on your cat with your cat's veterinarian. Apply the indicated ointment to the affected area twice daily.
- 4). Use shallow stainless steel or glass food and water dishes instead of plastic. Some cats are allergic to the plastic and dyes used in plastic dishes; this may be the underlying cause of the feline acne.
- 5). Groom your cat daily by brushing it to aid in the even distribution of skin oils and to remove excess fur and dander.
