It looks like a nipple to me... does he have them on both sides of his belly or are they close together?

Red bumps on his tail could be flea bite.

I agree with ankitty - that looks like a nipple to me, too.

I think so, too. There should be 6 nipples, even if he's a male.

Feline acne, on the other hand, appears as black specks on their chin that develops from using bowls or feeders made of plastic.

I think that's the consensus here, yes. We all think it's a nipple. Your description of several others just like it on his belly supports that. I know it's odd to think of a male cat as having nipples, but all of them do, just like male humans do. It's nothing odd or worrisome.
