A bump on the underside of the chin could be a localized infection called chin acne. This occurs in some cats due to allergies or exposure to accumulated bacteria on the rough edges of plastic food and water bowls. Other potential causes include trauma, insect bites or a growth. You may contact us for a consultation. Providing pictures may give us a better idea of what the problem is
