I know i asked this question yesterday, i just want one more set of opinions. Thanks for all your contributions.

I have this thing on my back. It started feeling like any other zit type thing, but it was at a position on my back where i cant get to it well. I squeezed the hell out of it but nothing came out, it became very inflamed and now hurts like crazy.

After trying to "pop" it for the first day i left it alone for two days, then i simply put a little pressure downward in the area around the center (no pinching) and a milky white fluid oozed out. It was about the consistency of yogurt mixed with a little water. After that i left it alone.

Today my wife said it looked "ready" since it was chapped. She peeled off the scab and pressure ensued. Some stuff came out, not tons but about half a tablespoon or so. It was the same milky stuff as before but this time with blood, looked kinda like mud or something. You can see it in the picture.

This thing is about 1 & 1/2 inch radius, it feels very hard. The scab is actually at the top, just above the scab the skin feels normal but for a inch or so below the scab it feels hard.

Here is the picture from yesterday too.

even thought we just tried our best to pop it, it still feels very big and hard, should we cut somewhere ?
Just called the dermatologist. The earliest they can get me in is 6 days from now, and just to seem me its between -0 but if there is a "biopsy" it will be 0 + for lab fee … and thats not even being done with it !

I’ve had a stubborn cyst on my nose for about three weeks. I’ve been putting a dab of tea tree oil on it for five nights now, and after I took a shower and gently washed my face this morning, an enormous amount of pus was oozing out of it–and not just the small bit that you get when you pop a zit. When I cleared the pus with a cotton ball, the cyst was a lot flatter. I’m hoping this is a good sign…? I don’t want it to re-seal itself and keep tormenting me!

I have proactiv solution and it works pretty good. I’m confused how its suppose to be a 2 month supply but I’m still on my original set I got November 1st, and I still have a months worth left in each of the bottles(especially the toner). How much of each bottle do you guys use? Do you like soak yourself in it? Do you apply the 3rd step with a finger or do you rub it on your hands and then to the face? I still occasionally get a small zit or two and I was wondering if I could eliminate this if I just used more and stopped being so preserving. Thanks.

I only get acne around my mouth and chin. Never once have I gotten it on my forehead, yet I look at all my friends and that’s the only place they get them. What’s worse is that I have really pale skin, so when I get a zit it looks horrible. I was wondering if anyone knew why I only get it on my chin, and how I can help get rid of it. I get regular exercise from dance, and I’m not having any sleep or stress problems currently. Thanks! :D

this is gross i know but bear with me :
i had this zit that was hard and lumpy and i stuck a needle in it to pop it. when i squeezed it tons of puss came out but its still a hard lump in its place
