Idiopathic Facial Pruritus is a severe form of acne in cats. The condition is prevalent among Persian cats. Affected cats have black waxy material on their hair and skin, especially around their eyes and chin. For this type of acne, a large amount of excess dirt must be removed to avoid blackheads and secondary bacterial infection. An antibacterial wash with chlorhexidine as an active ingredient is recommended only in cases of mild infections. In cases in which secondary infection is present, it might be necessary to give antibiotics or antifungal medication depending on the results of the bacterial culture and sensitivity tests that may be performed. In special cases of felines with acne, steroids will be recommended in the short term to reduce inflammation. Be sure to follow the dosage prescribed by your vet California, MD as well as the duration of treatment. Learn more here: https://www.bretonvet.com/
