If it has progressed over a week or so and is becoming severe and resistant, ask your vet for Forte Topical or TriTop, either will clear it up in no time....ideally, your vet should diagnose first.

In the meantime, switch kitty's food/water dishes to stainless steel, they are less likely to harbor bacteria that causes feline acne. Excessive feeding of canned or oily foods can also exacerbate the condition.
