Hi and thanks for your request. This is likely to be a small spot of chin acne, possibly due to a superficial skin infection. I would recommend to keep it clean and disinfect it with hibiclens diluted one in ten with water twice daily for the next week. Lack of improvement or worsening (more spots, itch, pus discharge from the small pimple) should be checked by your local vets.
