Help? I have this lump that is near my forehead. Here’s a pic of it, anyone know what it could be?
Ok so i have this lump or bump on my forehead, it looks pretty nasty. I decided to take a pic of it so maybe someone here can help me, by adding what they think it is?

Is it a cyst, acne/pimple or something else?

Note: i had this lump a few days ago, it went away and now its back in the same spot..pretty weird

Thanks

Here is the link, it is kinda gross, sorry

i have had this hard painful, itchy cystic acne lump on the side of my chin for a week or 2 now and it was showing no signs of going away so i decided to prick a pin into it to see if that would help relieve some pressure or release some fluid. some yellowish white fluid came out when i squeezed where i pricked the cyst but not much and it hurt too much to squeeze any harder. i pricked it a few more times in different places (this thing is huge) and nothing came out of the other places (just blood). what should i do now? im sure there is probably still more pus in it because only a small amount came out and the thing is still huge. i covered it with benzoyl peroxide 10% cream.. will this draw more of the pus out? ive never had one like this before. how long will it take to heal??

Close to my bottom lip, next to my chin i have this big bump,about dime size that feels pretty solid against my under my skin. I’ve gotten bad pimples or tiny cyst type things before but never this big and painful! It feels like a ball in there. I’ve tried putting a warm compression on it to bring it to a head but no such luck.

What do you do to treat these deeps under the skin cysts? Do i add heat to it or peroxide to it? Is there any over the counter thing or home remedie to use?
Its been there about 4 days now and hasnt gotten smaller!
Help!

If this had happened during the school year I’d insist she go and wouldn’t even consider letting her stay home. She’s in summer enrichment program at her high school that’s really challenging, and she’s been worn out lately. She went to cheerleading then music camps almost back to back and didn’t have a lot of down time before this program started up. This morning she’s having a fit because overnight a large cystic acne pimple has formed on the side of her nose. It’s only 6:50 in the morning now but as soon as the dermatologist office opens I’m going to try to get her appointment. In the past they’ve fit us in last minute. This would mean me taking time off work too, but I know that cysts can be much more painful than a normal blemish.

She really wants to just go back to bed and stay home today. The problems I have with it are -
she’s getting grades for these classes, and it will be factored into her GPA
I don’t want to set a precedence of letting her stay home because of something that isn’t serious
My husband will probably be upset

The pros to letting her stay home are-
She really needs the sleep
I could just worry about figuring out my own schedule when I make the appt. for her. Hopefully they can give her an injection that will zap the cyst faster.
She promised to throughly clean her room which has been a disorganized mess since she got home

My husband is on a work trip so I’m just using the site as my sounding board while having coffee.

What would you do in this situation?
Momma Dread – I know it’s a very big deal to her emotionally and physically. What I meant by “serious” it isn’t the sort of thing that would absolutely require her to stay home like a virus. I am taking this seriously, which is why I’m going to try to get that appointment for her as soon as possible.
Chase’s mom – the program will allow make up work but it can be tricky. She’s taking two honors classes that cover in one summer what you’d normally learn in a year, so it moves at a very fast pace. Missing a day during the summer is like missing a week or two in the school year.

I had cystic acne when I was pregnant with her, and I definitely feel for her now. Mine would make my whole face throb sometimes. I just don’t want to end up adding more stress to her later on.

I do think I’ll just let her stay home.
