Holy crap! That sounds bad! Well, its infected, so don't touch it, cause that will make it worse. But, seeings how it's causing you much pain, it means that its still growing larger. Honestly, there is a chance that this zip will decide to burst on its own, when it is fully grown and the skin has become very thin.

Ok, so here's a home remedy that I heard about on the radio and I have found to work very well! Place just a dab of honey on the zip, and cover it up with a bandage. This will shrink down a lot of it overnight! I've tried it a few times, and it works like a charm! I know it sounds silly, but its true...think about it...did people always use Acne medicine...nope...they used natural products!

Hope that helps!

It doesn't sound like a zit, it sounds like a boil. You'd do well to have a doctor check it out to make sure it's nothing more serious (and to confer with you about any medications/lifestyle choices you're taking/making that could have caused it).

Not all boils look like the one pictured at the source and many look the way you've described. They can be quite painful and sensitive to touch, so getting it on its way to healed is important.

If the doctor says it's not a big deal and will heal on its own, I recommend treating it with straight tea tree oil three or four times a day until it heals. I've personally found this to help promote healing and minimize scarring.

Answer 5

I have an acne treatment that has won me the best answer ten times. Each time, the person said it worked great. I'll copy and paste it below.

Use a hot compress on it, and then use cool water to close the pores. Do the process over and over again, about five or six times. Use soap to wash the area, and then treat it with an alcohol soaked cotton ball. It should be gone within five to six hours.

Answer 6

Yikes...boy do I feel for you. The same thing happened to me, but on my thigh. Darn those things hurt. I finally couldn't stand it anymore and sterilized a needle with alcohol and popped a small hole in the center then that relieved some of the pressure and I was finally able to pop it and clean it out with alcohol and it went away. But it still hurt to pop it and mine was full of blood, just like you are thinking. Also quite a bit of pus....I know yuck.

Answer 8

It could be something else like a boil..apply a hot rag to it for a while then poke a small hole in it with a sewing needle.
