chin abscess on chin

This morning I noticed a small abscess on the side of Tuffy's chin. I'm attaching pictures. I'm not sure if it's a bug bite, cut or skin irritation. It doesn't seem to be a big deal but I wanted to post it here to see if anyone had a clue as to what this could be and if I should treat it. Thanks!

Does that mean Tuffy is going through puberty?!

Yes, one could call it that. Ollie went through a "zitty" stage

and now seems past it.  Clearasil wipes are easy to use.

Hi, I used Clearisil and it worked great, and to answer your

question from the general board, she didn't lick it cause she couldn't reach it, :) the pimple was way under her chin, the Clearisil worked great, it was the first time I tried it.

Thanks, Evelyn. I tried the clearisil pad but...

it seemed to sting him so I checked with the vet and he said just try neosporin. Glad the clearisil worked for you!!
