Thank you for submitting your question regarding Silk. Feline acne typically refers to an infection of the hair follicles on the chin. It is difficult to say if this is the case without seeing a picture. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian. If she has acne, she will likely require treatment. Sometimes medicated wipes are used on the chin and other times oral antibiotics are necessary. It is generally not a condition that is spread to people. However, her veterinarian can tell you for sure after examining her. I hope this information helps!
