My cat has a pimple-like bump on his chest. Should I be concerned?

Question

My cat has a bump on his chest area. Almost between the front two legs. It's almost pimple/zit Luke in appearance. It's not a tick or flee. Not really abnormal in color. Really just like a zit. Is this a concern? Any idea what it is? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | unneutered | 5 years and 10 months old | 10 lbs

This could be a pustule which is a local bacterial infection or even a small cyst. If it is just one it may go away on its own. But if there are multiple, this one becomes larger or seems painful your cat may need medication from your veterinarian.
