Is it possible for cats to get zits?

I've noticed a small pink bump on my 1 year old cat's head. I showed my mom and she said it was only a zit but I'm not sure if cats can get zits. If you need more info then answer this question stating what more information do you need.Is it possible for cats to get zits?
It's called cat acne, but it usually found on the cats chin. http://www.vetinfo.com/cacne.html








Cat can get hurt and get abscesses. It a infection that like a pimple but you have to take them to the vet to get it drained, cleaned, and antibiotics. http://www.catsofaustralia.com/cat-absce鈥?/a>Is it possible for cats to get zits?
Keep an eye on it. If it gets bigger ( and soft ) take her to a vet for an exam.





Since she DOES go outside, there's the possibility that a ';Bot'; fly has laid an egg under her skin....and a larva is growing there. They don't kill the animal, just use it as a ';host';, until the larva matures. But, it should be removed, anyway.





So, if you see this ';zit'; getting larger, have her checked out. And, if you're going to let her ouside, put some ';OFF'; on your hands, and rub it on the fur on her head, to keep the flies away......





Hope this helps.........Good luck.
well, this seems to happen to some of my outdoor cats, they get bumps around their necks and heads and such, since they are outdoors. i think it might just be a scratch or a bug bite. nothing to really be worried about. And to answer your question, i don't think cats can get zits. but if you do get concerned, take her to the vet ;D
Feline Acne. Yes. Your vet can prescribe you ointment for it. I take an old toothbrush and scrub lightly where it is on the cat and then apply the ointment.
It is possible for cats to get zits though usually it's on their chins
no
does she go outside cuz its probably a flea bite
