cat has weird irritation on chin

Hi there,
I recently noticed that my big male ragdoll cat
has some type of irritation under his chin.
I noticed because it looked like the hair was falling
out under his chin, and now it has progressed
to being small sores, which ooze and bleed.
I have tried cleaning it with peroxide and putting
triple action polysporin on it.
Nothing seems to be helping. He seems to be itching it alot
and cleaning it excessively.
I cant afford to take him to the vet right now, so would like
something i could do for him at home.
I will try to take some pictures of it later.

My tortie used to get pimples on her chin... they weren't really bloody or anything, just... Pimples. (like on a person's face... yuck)
Maybe what your cat has is more serious, but I would suggest gently wiping his chin with a damp cloth regularly to start, and meanwhile start saving up to see a vet if there is no change.
If there is, you'll have some money saved in case of an emergency.

Like in another post,if you are using plastic dishes for his food,throw them out...it could be something as simple as his dish.Most cats are allergic to plastic-dishes!!

Hi,
No I dont use plastic dishes I use the steel kind with the rubber feet.
Through some searchin online It appears he has
"Cat Acne".
As I have some soap that is just for that purpose, clearing away
human cystic acne, I am going to try doing his chin 2 times
a day with the soap and some hot water and see if I can clear it up.
I washed it twice now, and already it looks better.

Hi, Just wanted to mark this as solved.
I started washing the cats chin with some
antibacterial soap "Tersaseptic", and the
acne has almost cleared up now.
Perhaps others could note it as a good self treatment
option for cat acne,
Tersaseptic, sold in most pharmacies.
Thanks.
