I have this large bump on the side of my face, it's about the size of a golf ball. It's recently turned red, and it's been growing pretty rapidly lately. It definitely hurts, chewing and turning my neck to a certain degree usually make it hurt. Naturally it just feels weird and hurts a bit, but depending on how distracted I am, I can forget about the pain at times. It's been growing for about 3 weeks now, and in the beginning it was realllly tiny.
Anyway, I went to urgent care, and the doctor told me it was an ingrown hair and to take some antibiotics for 2 days, and then go to the ER if it doesn't get better. I don't really feel that it's an emergency, some people have serious problems, so why should I take precedence over someone who actually needs the help right that minute. So, I'm asking you folks online exactly what you think. Everyone I've talked to has said it's not an ingrown hair, and that I should go to the doctor, but I trust internet people.
