It started slowly but now his entire chin is covered in huge pimple looking things, and he gets them around his eyes sometimes. I am starting to worry that maybe it isnt acne. Any Ideas?

I had a cyst that really did seem to begin as a pimple on my back that grew bigger and bigger.. and now 2 years later is about the size of a walnut and has begun to be painful.. I had it diagnosed as a cyst about a year ago.. and YES I know I need to see a doctor- I have an appointment but it’s in 2 weeks.. So MEANWHILE what are your thoughts??
They are so annoying! I’ve heard several people who have had them removed but throughout their entire lives they keep coming back.. I hate the damn things!
Hmm no I looked up keloid.. doesnt look anything like that .. I’m pretty sure it’s a sebaceous cyst .. I’m white BTW ..

What is the surgery like???

Alright, the basics. I know that water helps to clear acne. I drink about a gallon and a half a day. I know pop/soda causes acne. So I don’t drink it.

My skin is pretty clear. I have a pimple here and there, but dude… I want to be perfect. May sound hard, but I do.

I have proactiv, but I can’t use it in the winter because it drys out my skin to much. In the summer my skin is virtually untouchable. It’s clear or at least it looks clear because of my tan.

Anyways, any other tips to get rid of acne? I cleanse 2 times a day… and drink a gallon and a half of water a day. I keep hands away from face and wash my pillow case a lot. What else can I do? Any home remedies?

Note: My skin is good in the summer. In the winter it has a little acne. Do you have worse acne in the winter than you do in the summer? Or is it just me?

I have a spot on my lower back, about waistline, that has been there about a year. It has been under the skin and about the size of a quarter, does not hurt and really never bothered me. I went in for a medical massage and the massuse found it and did some deep tissue massage on it. It hurt for a few days after, but it has now shrunk in size considerably to about the size of a small pimple. Every now and then, I will squeeze it and puss will come out of it that stinks so bad, almost like rotten cheese. What the heck is/was this thing and should I go see a doctor or just let it heal itself?

im wondering if proactiv really works or not…and how long does it take to notice a difference? i have mild acne, the occasional pimple here and there
