It seems that my black 2yr old pug has horrible acne on his chin what can I do?
It started slowly but now his entire chin is covered in huge pimple looking things, and he gets them around his eyes sometimes. I am starting to worry that maybe it isnt acne. Any Ideas?
Acne Marks or Scars
Here is a simple tip that you can use to reduce your acne scars and pigmentation.
The Oil Cleansing Method
What you will need:
Warm Water
Cold Water
Clean Towels
Castor Oil
Olive Oil
The first thing you need to do is to wash your face gently to remove excess dirt and oils from the surface.
You will then need to warm a clean towel in warm water and apply it to your face for 3 minutes. Do the same thing with the cold water but this time for one minute.
Carry out both the warm water and cold water procedure about 3 times but always finish with cold and then pat dry with another clean towel.
Next mix a small amount of castor oil with a small amount of olive oil. A 50/50 ratio will do just fine. Apply the mixture to your skin and let it stay there for 30 minutes and then rinse with warm water. Pat dry with a clean towel and you are good to go.
well it may unsightly..
but im sure it doesnt bother him too much..
it will go away eventually
dont worry about it.
Take him to the vet.
They are likely sebaceous cysts which are harmless, just annoying and can be painful for the dog. Clean his chin every day, preferably after meals, with a disinfectant/drying solution. One inexpensive thing that works is dissolving 1 aspirin for every oz. of water creating a salycilic acid solution. An old 16 oz. water bottle with 16 aspirin works well. After he eats, shake up the solution and put some on a cotton pad and clean thoroughly. It should clear it up rather quickly.
If you feed him in a plastic bowl switch to stainless steel and wash it often. Plastic bowls can harbor bacteria in the very small scratches and this can cause pimple like bumps.
doctor please
