My Doberman has recurring blisters under his chin. What is it?

Question

My doberman has blisters under his mouth that keep coming back. I've taken him to the vet twice, both times they gave him antibiotics and solution to clean the blisters and both times they cleared up for only a few weeks before coming back again. The vets think it's a bacterial infection how can I pinpoint exactly what the problem? Has anybody else ever had this problem?

It sounds like it may be chin acne. This can be caused by using plastic bowls or not cleaning bowls daily. I would recommend switching to metal bowls and clean them daily. If you are already doing this then I would recommend keeping Trigger's chin as clean and dry as possible. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
