It looks like it could be a blackhead from feline acne. Acne usually develops on the chin but along the edge of gumline is common. You can ask the vet to be sure. If your vet has email, just email the picture. Many vets are happy to respond to minor concerns by email.

Yes, I would say it's probably feline acne as well.  Do you feel from plastic bowls?  That's normally the culprit.  If you do, you might consider switching to another type of dish, and be sure to clean them every day.
