Any suggestions for cat acne?

[PhilMaura]

My cat started getting cat acne about a year ago.  It's fairly mild.

This is what I've already tried:
--eliminated the plastic water and food bowl.  Now she has a ceramic fountain.
--washing with soap and water
--qtips with hydrogen peroxide
--anti-bacterial soap and water
--wash all the hard surfaces she rubs her little chin on

Any other suggestions?

The green tea didn't seem to help but the colloidal silver made the black "dust" vanish in just a few days.  Thanks so much for the suggestion.

I also should have added that I order from iherb often, they are a very reputable company. their shipping costs are only $4. and if you quote this code you'll get $5. off your order.

hi and welcome, you've certainly tried all the most common fixes. I have several other suggestions for you.

-can sometimes be caused by too much fat in the diet...try a change.

-gently wipe the chin after eating, just contact with the food can
sometimes cause the delicate area to crust. don't use antibacterial soap

-get some decafinated green tea, make up some in a jar and use this to gentle clean the area with, if that alone doesn't work than I know if you add a few drops of Colloidial Silver in with it, this will work!! CS is an antimicrobial.
be sure its this brand since kitty will lick and ingest so it needs to be pure.
