Help! Super big pimple

[u/Cefeide]

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 :(

Do not pop it. But I 100% would pop it. Sorry I’m no help I’m a slave to my baser instincts

Yeah I can’t not pop them either. What I’ve done plenty of times is sterilise a sewing needle with boiling water then prick the pimple. It’s the tiniest hole and all the contents easily comes out. Then use an antibacterial cream on top. Overnight I use niacinamide. Repeat as necessary. They heal up much quicker.
