Cat.. Leading to Acne? ?

Question

Is it true that having a cat around, and possibly on the bed will lead to acne or make acne more severe? Any ideas on how to prevent or help this if it is true?

Answer 1

No, I don't think having the cat around will have any effect on the acne.  There is no quick fix for acne.  Your doctor may recommend some prescription medication.  Keep your face very clean.  Drink plenty of water.  Eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep.  Try to reduce the stress in your life.  Probably the most useful and effective things you can do are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer.   Here are a few informative links with additional home treatment ideas.

Answer 2

what the heck, who told u that. i've never heard that before

Answer 3

I have never heard of that. ever. I have 13 cats and do not have acne. my 18 and 20 yr old kids do not have acne. acne is caused by a couple of different things, hormones, blocked pores, just to name a couple... but I have never heard of having a cat on the bed causing acne.

Answer 4

No it will not.  I'm not sure who told you this, however there is no way possible that this could cause acne.  Cats are very clean animals so there is not any way this could happen.

Answer 5

Cats do not cause acne the only thing that causes acne is not washing your face or touching your face constantly! Your can can possibly give you a rash but no acne.

good luck!
