canine acne | Vetaid's Blog

Canine acne is a benign self-limiting disease of the chin and lips of young dogs. Short-coated dogs, such as boxers, bulldogs and Rottweilers, are at increased risk for acne. The condition starts at puberty around 5 to 8 months of age. Most dogs improve with age and the condition typically resolves after one year of age. The exact pathogenesis has not been established. Genetics, hormones and trauma have been hypothesized to play a role.

What to Watch For

•Red bumps (papules) and blackheads (comedones) are usually noted on the chin and lips of young dogs. They may become infected and pus can be expressed from these lesions.

•When infection is present itching may develop and the dog may start rubbing his face against carpet and furniture. Diagnosis A clinical diagnosis of acne is usually made considering the breed, the age of onset and appearance of the lesions.
