Giant Pimple?

Question

I've had giant pimple (i think) under my nose now for almost a month when i look at it closesly..its a yellow-ish color i know its not a whitehead but idk whether its a blackhead...its just kinda a yellow bubble....I don't even know if its a pimple cause i've tried everything...popping it with a needle (it just bled) toothpaste (the only thing that sorta kinda shrunk it a lil)...rubbing alcohol....some bullshit method of soaking it in salt water and then squeezing it (that made it bigger and redder). I dont. I dont know what i should do. Dermatologist is basically out since i just loss my insurance. Any advice?

Answer 1

Walk in clinic. ANY doctor should be able to offer SOME help. Doesn't sound like a pimple!!!!! I would be at the next walk in ASAP!!!!!

Answer 2

Hot compress, (a wet wash cloth and heat it) repeat, (microwave it for double warmth).. then take a fine sterile needle to the center and see what happens. (it would bring the fluid to a head) try applying peroxide and and an acne cream.
Do not force squeeze it - and if it doesn't heal in another day or two, an MD may have to look at it or give you a topical or oral antibiotic. Hard to say over the 'net.
Explain you lost your insurance and make payments.
Better to be safe then sorry about our skin!

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots

Answer 4

if it's that stubborn it sounds like a white head. White heads are tough. I usually use a clean and sterilized needle and stick the needle deep in the white head, I gently break the skin and dig down until I can get the white head out. I don't recommend this but if it's bothering you it's worth a try. Too much squeezing will cause a scar.

Answer 5

I've had those. It's a different kind of zit.

1) Pop it
2) squeeze it
3) rubbing alcohol (I know it burns)
4) small dab of neosporin and a small bandaid for about 3 days.
5) then let it dry up.

It might be a little cyst, you could try lancing it with a blade, if your tuff. I did it before it was a little hard ball inside after that it healed up fine.
