Can cat acne heal itself?

Cat acne cannot heal itself and most cases of acne are resolved through oral antibiotics or topical treatments. Chronic or recurrent cases may require additional testing to determine if there are underlying conditions that lead to bacterial skin infections. Regular bathing with medicated shampoo can minimize recurrences. In most cases, the prognosis for simple acne is not high.

No. Feline acne is commonly found in areas with multiple skin folds, such as the lips, eyelids, and nose of dogs, and also occurs in the skin between toes and other areas with thin or no hair. Symptoms include local hair loss, varying degrees of itching and pain, and small pustules that form small ulcers or scabs when broken. Chronic cases can result in local skin thickening. In severe cases, individual lesions can extend to deeper and surrounding tissues, leading to more serious surgical infectious diseases such as itching, pain, abscesses, and cellulitis.
