pimples can be caused by many things. Not just hormones. Remember a pimple is dirt in a pore. Just keep his face clean.

When my daughter was about the same age the pimple turned out to be 'impetigo', which you can look up online. It's a small redish sore that quickly turned from pimple-like to a sore. Doctor gave us topical ointment and had to wash it several times a day with dial anti-bacterial soap. Common in kids.

My 7 month and my 5 year old get the odd pimple every now and then.

Are you sure its a pimple and not a fever blister? Fever blisters form on the side of the mouth from stress and some other things.

I got one on my nose when I was 5 or so. It just means that the pore was clogged by dirt. His face just needs to be washed more often or scrubbed a little better when he's in the tub. That's all.

Are you sure it's not an ant bite? I know when I get bit by ants my skin has that kind of reaction. Otherwise it could just be a skin reaction to something else.

It could be a bug bite. It could be the beginning of an abscess. It could be a cold sore. It could be indian fire (impetigo.) Don't pop it. It could spread.
