My Dog Has A Blackhead Pimple?

My "Sheltie", has a pimple on her rear to the right. I noticed it 3 weeks ago whe I went to pet her. It's real small and I can see it when I seperate her hair because she has a lot of hair hiding it. It doesn't appear to be puss filled or getting any bigger. Any suggestions? P.S. I do use "Frontline Top Spot" for fleas and ticks. Could it be a bite?

    not likely a pimple... probably a small skin lesion.. Dont press it or mess with it at all. If it grows, gets filled or anything take her in to the vet to have it checked. if its right on her bum it could be a swollen anal glad. Just keep it clean and an eye on it.
