Dog Chin Acne
Dog Chin Acne
What's the white on my cats mouth?


I've just noticed a white spot on my kitties mouth, it's by one of her longer teeth at the front (your know the two fangy type ones).

I prodded it (gentttly!) to check if it's sore and she had no reaction, so i don't think it's causing her any pain. Just a bit worried about what it could be :(

She does have cat acne under her chin (i think, i've researched it and it sounds exactly like her). It's got a lot better since i started cleaning her chin for her with some pet wipes -they say for dogs, cats etc on the pack and are safe for the face and ears area. I guess it could be an allergic reaction or something, but they've never really touched her mouth and have helped the acne massively, despite only using them twice.

The vets cost too much to take her for a check up unless it's an absolute emergency, so im hoping i can set my mind at rest by finding out what it's likely to be.

It's hard to tell without actually seeing it, but it may be just that the tooth is pressing on the skin. This will restrict blood flow to the area which makes it appear white. Try pressing on your lip or gums for a few seconds and see what color it is when you remove the pressure. It's the same concept, except in her case the pressing is constant, so the area stays white.

Hope this helps.
