if you don't use stainless what are you using?  If you are using plastic that could be the problem.  Is he a puppy?  Puppies get juvenile acne. Is he spending time in a summer pool?  Do you wipe his chin dry after he drinks.  It really could be a number of things.

Stainless dishes - washing after ever feeding.

Wipe chin dry after drinking.

Dry after kiddie pool use.

Wipe his chin after eating with an antibacterial wipe.

If you do these thing religiously for 2 or 3 weeks he should clear up.

That's what I do too but sometimes her chin will just get red anyway.  I notice it more after she chews on a certain toy for awhile, but hers doesn't seem to bother her and isn't sore. It is just kind of a small pink hairless patch now! If he has an open sore though, I'd definitely keep it clean to avoid an infection. 

I finally took him to the vet and he ended up doing 2 rounds of antibiotic.  He has always used stainless steel and I wipe his chin,  but this continued to get worse and looked very sore. 

Although both Harley and Raven get a few bumps occasionally we have found that using the Lixit for their drinking water so that their faces are not getting wet or needing wiped down really helps to keep their faces looking nicer. 

he eats and drinks, it should help.  You may need an ointment from the vet to help clear up what he has now.
