I have had this pimple on the top of my chest for a while now. Since I was a junior or senior in high school and now I am in my second year of college. I know it is not normal, and it just won't go away! It is big, red, and hard. Should I see a dermatologist or are there any at home treatment, or should I just putting it? Because a visit with the dermatologist can be very expensive.

You should see a doctor if the pimple is lasting that long. Even if you did nothing, it should have gone away BY NOW. It's probably not a pimple... maybe a wart? mole? Who knows. Doctor. Definitely.

You should at least see your family doctor, and he/she would refer you to the dermatologist if necessary. Maybe it is not a pimple, or maybe it was a pimple that needs special medication.
It's convenient sometimes to just put some over-the-counter creams or stuff like that, but even the most effective ones (like Mario Badescu or ProActive or Neutrogena or Clearasil) cannot cure it. It would be risky to try them now, since it has been there for quite sometime. I'm not a medical professional or anything, but I think that visiting a doctor would be your best bet.

Its simple. All you have to do is wash your face with a face cleanser (it is important that it is only for your face) two times a day, morning and night. Watch what you eat, try eating healthier, try talking to a nutritionist or look something up on the web. Also you might not know this but exercise is really important too. You must exercise regularly. Wearing sunscreen is very important if you want to keep looking young. So with these simple tips you should have a baby face in no time.

Is it a bump? and can you squeeze it?
because there are these sort of pimples that are really big and painful that usually pop out on areas of your body such as legs, chest etc. and they are painful, but they do go away maybe after a month and are caused from unsanitary conditions.

I had one on my nose that I had for a LONG TIME and every time I tried to pop it, it would still be there. Eventually, i sat in front of a mirror with a safety pin and got everything out of it (it was hard) but it didn't come back_ left a scar though

try popping it or putting a lotion that makes it go away. if it doesnt work its probably not a pimple. you should also try to wash it often to prevent it from getting more inffected. if you see it getting bigger you should really see the doctor or something like that. good luck to you!
hoped i helped!

it could be an ingrown hair that is under the skin and the pore is blocked. a dr would need to remove it.

Have you tried getting it to pop out. If it won't come out you do need to have it checked.

you could just have a growth that happens to be red
if it doesnt bother you or come to a head leave it be
