Thanks for the replies.
The vet advised me to bathe her chin twice a day with salty water, which I have been doing, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I will try a mild antibiotic soap and see if that helps. If not, she's due at the vets in a few weeks for her annual jabs, so he can take another look at it then.

I would take her back to the vet before her jabs are due. My cat gets a fat bottom lip every so often (we thought at first he'd been stung) but it's been diagnosed variously as an allergic reaction or acne (both of which mentioned in wolf's link). I am now given antibiotic tablets for him when it flares, and it clears up in only a few days. It would be so hard for your cat not to scratch if it itches, and my cats are terrified of the cone collars and when they tried them, they spent all their time running backwards trying to get out of them. Try the vet again!
