Feline acne is a problem seen in cats primarily involving the formation of blackheads accompanied by inflammation on the cat's chin and surrounding areas.[1][2] In many cases symptoms are mild and the disease does not require treatment.[1] More severe cases, however, may respond slowly to treatment and seriously detract from the health and appearance of the cat. Feline acne can affect cats of any age, sex or breed.[1]
Advanced feline acne
Sebaceous glands are mostly found in the skin of the chin, base of the tail, eyelids, lips, prepuce and scrotum. They are connected to the hair follicles. In acne, the follicles become clogged with black sebaceous material, forming comedones (also known as blackheads). These comedones can become irritated, swollen and infected, leading to pustules. The cats may experience itching and discomfort due to swelling and bacterial growth inside infected glands.[2] Secondary fungal infections (species Malassezia) may also occur.[2]

your best bet is to use a wart removal kit on them and peel them off. your cat may object to the idea but you can buy good rope from wickes that will hold it down.
