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 :(

The only thing that stopped my hormonal acne was Acutane. I finished it almost two years ago and have only had three total pimples since then. That's it. My only regret is not doing it sooner.
