Ok so I was laying on the couch with Diggs and noticed his chin was dirty. I cleaned it off with a wipe and then noticed bumps. I drug my thumbnail across his chin and a whole bunch of pus came out. I did this a couple times and then applied some deep cleaning astringent. I know sphynx are prone to black heads here but he didn't have any of those.... is there something I can do to prevent this? The boys eat out of ceramic dishes. I checked the other 2 boys and they have the same problem only to a lesser degree.

Secondly I am going to start to show and have no clue where to start. My breeder is going to help but has been working 15hr days! So I figured I could get some info here

For the pimple chins you can wipe with a stridex pad in the morning and at night. Myself i pop them it's a habit but ours only have one every so often if it was all the time ar more than 1 or 2 I would go with the stridex pads.
Our new Crested Louie has more and I use rx pimple cream on him if it is bad but I get samples from work :Laugh: If you can not get rid of them let me know and I could send you some.

I noticed something like this on elvis' chin! There was one little black dot, I tried to squeeze it- very gently, and realized it was just a spot. But when I was gently squeezing, pus started to come out of multiple little spots on his chin. He has all stainless steel dishes so it must be from the breeders house...?
I will definitely be trying the stridex pads.

Good luck in the show world. I can't help you in that subject, but for the blackheads, I heard that apple cider vinegar helps.
