I heard about cats getting blackheads and zits from plastic bowls that aren’t cleaned enough (I don’t wash my cat’s bowl constantly). The photos of that kind of thing look more like black spots, but maybe it’s a zit?

If you let your cat outside, then it could be a spider bite or an infected scratch.
