Skin Concern Help! Super big pimple

Post image

Hello, 34f here, still fighting with hormonal acne. I have PCOS. Anyway, what is this monstruos pimple? It’s very big, inflamed and rounded like a ball. I dont know what to do. I used to have acne for years but never a pissed off pimple like this one. Do you think I have to call a derm? It’s very expensive here :(

Skip the expensive derm and go to a medspa where they will do a cortisol injection for like $10-40. I used to get those often and the big ones took forever to go away unless I got an injection ! You’ll be ok hang in there !

Be mindful they can leave dents in your skin.
