    Open sore on chin
    Our 8 year old cat has been experiencing blister-looking area on lower lip and recently under his chin. This cat also has trouble keeping his food down @ times. Other wise looks healthy and happy. Any ideas?

    Take him to the vet. Much like humans, pets can't get an accurate diagnosis without being looked at. :)

    Area healed itself.

    Just so you know for the future, it sounds to be like it could very well be an abscess attributed to dental issues.

    My older cat had this a number of times. They would appear and grow very quickly. They are very painful for the cat, and in our case the vets always drained the abscess and supplied him with antibiotics. They can actually be very dangerous.

    If he's not eating properly, it could be another sign of dental issues. We had to put our kitty on a diet of watered down baby food, and it probably saved him for a long time.

    This is a thread in which we're talking about cats. That said, I think you need to see a dermatologist. Stop touching it! Three months is a very long time.
