Hi there It looks like Affinity has infected hair follicles. It may also be an allergic reaction. You can try cleaning her chin with warm water and allowing a warm wash cloth to sit on her chin for a 5 minutes to see if they will resolve, but she likely will need antibiotics so I’d recommend a visit with your vet Best wishes!
