Hi there. In that area there are a few things that could be playing a role in that wound. Feline acne is common under the chin, a tooth root abscess, and on white cats I also worry about skin cancer. I would highly encourage you to have her evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
