Does anyone have any experience with feline acne? Murphy has a smudge on his jaw just below his mouth that's a little smaller than a dime, and it looks like someone just smushed dirt into his skin. He had the same thing in the same place about 6 months ago, and it just disappeared after a couple weeks.

At first I was thinking it was a new freckle coming in, but now I'm wondering if that's feline acne. As I look at pictures of feline acne online, it seems like most cases are a reddish bump like human acne would be, but this is more brownish like dirt.
