Hello and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Although having a small pimple is not normal, I'm not sure I would be very concerned at this time. I would monitor the area and if the pimple does not go away or more lesions pop up it would be a good idea to have Frankie checked out by your veterinarian.
