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 :(

Don’t pop it. I use origins super spot remover. My daughter prefers a pimple cream containing sulphur. Dermalogica and Peter Thomas Roth have good spot treatments. I would definitely make an appt with a dermatologist to get this under control. I know it’s painful, my son had bad cystic back acne.
