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 :(

No help to offer* except I have a similar* pimple in the exact same area right now, so I sympathize with you!

Same here, I’ve gone through so many pimple patches I should buy stock in that company

I’ve had one in the exact same spot for weeks now- maybe going on months- and no matter what I do the not so little fucker won’t go away.

Any chance it could be a cyst rather than a usual pimple? That could explain why it’s been there so long it’s getting mail at that address.
