Hello everybody,
So below you’ll find a picture of my 7 months male cat. He has this dark area under his nose that has been there for a month now. Somedays it’s less (but still there) and other days it’s really dark like in the picture. Sometimes it scabs off but reappear again. And also sometimes I find a tiny scab on his nose but it peels off easily then reappear after a week or two.
I have taken him to multiple vets. Some say it’s acne and others say it might be allergies. But none of the vets gave me a clear answer and a cure. One of the vets advised me to use chlorhexidine, I did try it, it only removes the tiny scab on his nose but not the area on his lip.
I have no idea what to do..
my next step is to stop feeding him chicken because I thought he might be allergic to it..
Help?

Although not impossible for a chicken allergy to only affect his mouth/nose, it typically would also present with itchiness/scratching to his face/head, as well as other parts of his body. So, first, try the above suggestions regarding food/water dishes and cleaning.
