Red sore spot on cats chin

[ChunkyNaomBaby]

Hello everyone, so I have noticed a red spot/sore on my cats chin the other day. According to my sister it has been there for like a week. It doesn’t seem to have gotten bigger in that time. I have not seen my cat scratch at it excessively, and she has been eating and drinking normally. She hasn’t had any allergies before, and is a completely indoor cat. It’s almost time for their monthly flea medication. I have not changed any of their food/treats/litter recently. Any ideas on what it is? I really hope it’s not ringworm, as I have 2 other indoor cats.

Might just be a pimple, cats get acne too sometimes! One of mine gets blackheads on his chin area often. I'm sure the others do too but they're darker in color so I don't really notice it. Keep an eye on it, but if it isn't bothering him, it will likely go away on its own.
