Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concerns about Buttercup! Based on the photo you provided, it appears as though what is shown in the video could be blisters or cysts that have developed on the chin region. I would recommend applying a warm water washcloth to the area 2-3 times daily and consider applying a veterinary product with benzoyl peroxide in it. I would also consider having a veterinarian take a look at the area as an in person evaluation would give you more of an answer. The veterinarian can take a small needle and see if any contents can be expressed from the area to confirm if it is a cyst or not. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction!
