Hello, it sounds like Mimo may have chin acne. This has been associated with skin sensitivities to something in their environment. Especially something they like to frequently rub on or have frequent direct contact with. One common object includes plastic food bowls. These can cause sensitivities of the skin and inflammation leading to formation of these black heads. You can try to change Mimo's food bowls to stainless steel or ceramic bowls. This can reduce the incidence of chin acne. You can also acquire skin sensitive baby wipes and wipe the area daily to see if this helps clean his skin. Hope this helps and best of luck.
