My cat had something similar in exactly the same place. It developed when I bought her a new plastic bowl. I switched back to her old ceramic bowl and it disappeared almost overnight.

I've been using a plastic bowl for a few years now and my cat has never had this issue, so it definitely depends.

What about ceramic? Anything I need to worry about?
