Do conures get pimples/blemishes?

I have 4 conures, my youngest one is a Nan-Gen, she's only 6 months old...and I just noticed today has what looks like a blemish just under her right eye. I have never seen anything like this on my others before and so I was looking up online what it could be and came across all things from an ingrown feather to bird mites.
If it were mites it doesn't look like any of the pictures I saw as it's only one mark that very much appears to be a blemish, w/a tiny white head. Plus my other three don't have any of these marks... And as for an ingrown feather I'm not sure either since the mark is pretty much mid way between the eye and the edge where her feathers get thick, just in the middle there on the white skin. So I'm just wondering if anyone knows do birds get blemishes and pimples at all? Or should I be worried?
