And also month ago she had big mates in the exact same area and I took here to the vet to take them off. Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | unspayed | 7 months and 6 days old | 7 lbs

I don't think it is skin mites. Blackhead (chin acne) is pretty common in cats and can be treated with daily Chlorhexidine solution OR you can use a topical human topical benzoyl peroxide gel 5%. Trimming away any long hairs is helpful as well.
