However, as long as the skin does not become infected, broken, or red, folliculitis is not a big problem. It's like blackheads on a human's nose. Folliculitis can also occur on the nipples or the base of the tail, but it mostly affects male cats.
If the cat's hair follicles are not ruptured, you can first shave the hair off the cat's chin, and then wipe and clean it with an alkaline cleaner, such as soap, tea, or medical alcohol.
