I have this thing right under my eyebrow that appeared out of nowhere. It looks like a pimple (as nasty as that could sound) except it doesnt go away ! and it has like a little hole in the middle.
I tried squeezing it..and this white crap comes out. If i squeeze it for too long i can see blood inside it!....but it keeps growin back! It's really disgusting looking and I dont know how to get rid of it !
PLEASE HELP ME ! ='[
even if you're not sure what it is... but have an idea...it would really help.
OH! and dont tell me to go to the doctor... tell me something i don't know =P thank you in advance.!

It is a pore that is enlarged, and keeps filling with oil, dirt, and bacteria. It's like a whitehead that won't go away. I have one on my forehead, and I kept messing with it until it got bigger and bigger. The best thing you can do is leave it alone. The more you pick, the more you squeeze, the bigger it will get.

When i was about 15 or 16 I got a rather large pinkish red pimple looking thing on the side of my nose. For about 2 weeks i thought it was just a zit...untill it never went away. So i started to poke at it with a needle and white puss and blood came out. After about a month it grew back. So my mother finally took me to the docter and he said that it is totally normal for girls my age espesially athletic ones. So this is totally normal and do not worry about it. (but if it does stay for 2 or 3 months more i do recommend going to the docter)
Hope this helped you!!
Merry holidays!!
love, Savanah

I recently heard of a case where this guy was traveling and he went near some trees that had this small insect. It got on his skin and the reaction he had is really close to what you described.
Not trying to scare you or anything, the guy did eventualy go to the doctor and they killed it with some meds and everything cleared up.
Good luck

Try using Neosporine and see if it starts clearing up. Do not squeeze it anymore. If the Neosporine doesn't work, you're going to have to see a doctor. You have to be really careful with a lot of infections going around, particularly staph. Good Luck!

Since this pimple is close to your eyebrow, it sounds like an ingrown hair. They can get infected. You need to get the hair out of there and put some antibiotic cream on it to start it healing.

The effects you mentioned after popping it are perfectally normal. After popping, rub some rubbing alcohol on it to clean it and dry it up, which will also make it go away faster. Also, medicated facial pads such as Stridex are a great way to clean your face and reduce pimples and acne.

a pimple will go away....if its been there for like a month it could be a hair. I had a ingrown hair that I had to pluck out under a big magnifying mirror with lots of light and look for hair that is trying to go back into the skin and pluck it out.....

it could be Milia, a build-up of protein under the skin. they can be removed by a dermatologist.
how long have you had this thing? if its really bothering you, you should see a Dr. But just apply a benzo-peroxide (like clean&clear) to dry it up and hopefully it will go away on its own.

It's a pimple and sense you keep squeezing it, you allow bacteria to enter again and re-infect it. I suggest squeeze it, put hydrogen peroxide or alcohol and leave it alone.

That really sounds like a sebaceous cyst. Doctors can give you antibiotics, but when I have gotten them in the past I take burdock root in capsules and they tend to go away. Google sebaceous cysts and see if that sounds/looks like what you have.
I wouldn't recommend continuing to pinch it, or doing or taking anything without going to a doctor... even though that's not what you want to hear! :-)
