My cat has a new brown spot on her lip. Should I be worried?

A photo may be helpful for us to better advise you. If it doesn't seem to be bothering him and is just slightly raised, its reasonable to just keep an eye on it and ask your vet next time you are in for an annual exam. However if its getting bigger or seems bothersome, take him in. Thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. This small spot does not look like anything of significance, and may just be a birth mark that she developed. If it does not bother Chibi at all, and she is not limping or licking at that foot, I would not be concerned. I hope this is helpful!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If the bumps are symmetrical and look the same in each side they are likely the normal scent gland that is present in the lower lip. The black specks might be dried saliva. You can always post a picture. I hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Black pigment or Lentigo are common developments in the mouth of cats as they age. More so in orange cats. That is what I think your last picture shows. The middle picture I can't tell if it is pigment or just some drool that had food in it that dried on the fur. It isn't uncommon to have dark crust at the nose openings. Some cats can have that and not be sick or if they are recovering from an upper respiratory tract infection. If Aphrodite is acting normal and not sneezing excessively I do not think she needs veterinary care. Have a good day!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is not necessarily a problem. In fact, this is most likely a normal change in pigmentation. If this ever develops a mass effect, I recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment. Best of luck!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be the same as blackheads in humans. There is nothing that needs to be done. If it does not go away on its own as expected or it forms a mass, have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment. Have a great day!

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I can see a flat, dark brown spot on Mewtwo's neck. It is somewhat concerning that the spot has gotten darker, so you should definitely keep an eye on it and have it checked out if it gets bigger or starts bleeding. Your vet can either remove the spot completely or take a needle and collect some cells from the area to send off to a lab. I hope this helps!
