it's hard to explain but first i thought it was a bug bite but it got a little bigger. It's red, soft and it is soooo not a pimple though. idk what it is, it's not like a mosquito bite lookish type it's more popping out and in the middle it's a little whitish. What is it? im 13 by the way and it doesnt hurt but feels weird. but it was'nt hear for too long

by the way my mom saw it and said oh no, it will get bigger and pop and you'll have to cure it. so don't worry she said... well if i need an ointment what kind?!!?

I told my husband to put an antibiotic on it. The whitish thing in the middle is pus made from white blood cell. His bumps started to spread but went away a week after treatment. Whatever you do, do not pop it!! You probably rubbed against something and its causing the bump. Wash the area with mild soap and apply the antibiotic 2x a day. This should work.

What you may have is a cyst. It is like a mass of tissue or waste that sometimes just pops up. If I were you I would tell your parents and go have it looked at by a doctor. If it is a cyst they will lance it or simply cut it out. Don't worry it isn't painful. Good Luck!

Sounds like a boil. If it becomes really painful, you develop a fever, begin to feel really ill or notice red streaks coming from it, tell your mom or dad, they'll need to take you to see a doctor.

Try using some acne medication on it to see if it improves. If it does not improve within a few days to a week, go see your doctor.
