It depends: A person can develop a pimple anywhere on their body. Glands in the skin can get clogged with dirt, sweat, or other material causing local inflammation and swelling. This can lead to a small pocket of infection with pus, which is what is commonly referred to as a pimple. Good hygiene and frequent washing should minimize the appearance of pimples anywhere on the body.
