What Causes Pimples On Face And Neck Of A 7 Year Old?

Hi! Can a cat cause a 7 year old boy to get constant pimples on their face and neck? My son picks up the cat all the time and always puts his face into her face and her fur. I am not sure how he gets the pimples on his neck, but, they often get infected, and hurt him. He has no other allergic symptoms.

Thanks for the query.
It is quit common to have pimples at this age.
He can get the infection of the pimples from cat.
But the pimples may have different etiology like hormonal imbalance, stress, junk oily food, infection, genetics.
See a dermatologist for further treatment.
Hope i helped you.
