Red Lump? I don't know what it is! Cyst? Boil? Pimple?

Question

I just posted thins but I am reposting with a pic so maybe I will have a better response. I have this weird bump that came pretty much out of no where. I have heard many things of what it could be. A boil, a cyst, just a huge pimple. I am freaking out about it cause I have no idea what it is! It's scary to me! Its probably around the size of my fingernail but the bump is under my skin. On the surface its red and looks kind of scabby and dry. It doesnt really hurt but it's kind of sore to the touch. It doesnt itch or anything. I have no idea! Does anyone know what this hard red bump is!?!

Answer 1

It could be simple acne. You are the right age to be getting hit hard with it. But as far as it being scabby and dry on the surface, acne usually isn't unless it's already starting to heal. I, personally, would go to a dermotologist if you are worried about it. Sometimes things like this are nothing, but it's worth your time and money to make sure.

Answer 2

Whatever the problem may be, See a doctor. NOW!!!. No one here is going to be able to help you. You need to see a doctor to get this condition properly diagnosed. As quickly as possible. IF you are sexually active currently, it might be wise to stop until you have this looked at.

Answer 3

it may be a staff infection
go to your doctor, they have to remove them

staff is when a cut/pimple or anything like that gets infected with the staff bacteria. it gets under oyour skin and it will stay there. it can transfere with sweat and direct contact. if you sueez i does it hurt? if i does, it may be staff

judging from your pic and your paragraph, i think it is

go to a doctor however

i do not belive it is acne

I suspect an allergic reaction to something you ate. Use warm compresses on it and dab it with hydrogen peroxide or fresh lemon juice

It is Acne honey.

Here are some of my Natural Acne Remedies that WORK:

The juice of one fresh lime added to a glass of boiled whole milk (a tsp. of glycerine may be added for dry skin) is excellent as a face wash for pimples blackheads, and the like, and for cracked skin.

Garlic Juice with 3 parts water is an excellent cleansing agent. Raw garlic applied ( rubbed) on the face can make persistent pimples/acne even in adults disappear without a trace/scar with repeated applications. The external use of garlic helps to clear the skin of spots, pimples & boils. Taking 3-4 pods of raw, skinned garlic, finely cut, combined with puffed rice and swallowed with water helps to clear skin infections quickly. The raw smell of garlic can be avoided by first soaking the skinned pods for a half an hour in milk.

1 tsp. Groundnut oil mixed with an equal amt. of lime juice may be applied daily to prevent formation of blackheads, pimples etc.( Lime juice will break the moleculecular structure of groundnut oil into amino acids so that the skin does not absorb the oil.)

1 tsp. Honey mixed with water is good for all skin blemishes, and leaves the skin youthful & glowing. Honey mixed with milk, curds and ground sesame seeds in equal proportions is a sure formula for fair and lovely skin.

Turmeric paste mixed with chana dal powder or whole wheat flour is very effective for all minor skin blemishes. Haldi powder mixed with sugarcane juice helps to remove wrinkles & is good as an anti-ageing remedy. Haldi mixed with pineapple juice is very effective on dark circles under the eyes.

Raw potatoes contain potassium, sulphur, phosphorus & protein. The enzymes in raw potato pulp combined with its Vitamin C content & natural starch are a natural skin food.

Our body has its own self cleansing, self-purifying systems: keeping these systems working in perfect order is the best way of protecting yourself from toxicity. Drink 7-8 glasses of water a day. 10 glasses would be optimal, but if your anything like me its sometimes tough to get in the 8 glasses. Remember your skin is the largest organ of your body and is the first to lose moisture and become dehydrated.
