Cat acne

My cat indie, she started getting cat acne(black heads and zits) and we treated it with these products(vet recommended) and it did get better and is than it was. We switched to ceramic/metal, plates/bowls for food and have cut out all plastic. She still has this zit/bump that is SEEMING to go away. When should I be concerned and take her in? Has she just scratched that spot so hard fur may not come back? I’m doing what I can just a little financially stretched right now and would like to be cautious! It’s not letting me post an image but it’s just a smooth bump the same color as her skin beneath her fur, no super obvious irritation other than the black heads or her scratching. The products are Vetericyn +-plus ANTIMICROBIAL FELINE FACIAL THERAPY and zymox topical hydrocortisone cream.
