Pimple? Advise, please!?!
Question: Every couple of months, I develop a ...painful mound on my face. (Typically my chin) I've attempted to pop them as if they were a zit, but doesn't work. It's an extremely deep bump on my face that is painful! Can someone tell me what this is and what I can do to get rid it?

Other than washing your face a lot :
Ice down the acne before bed, by morning it should be noticeably less swollen. Works best on larger pimples that have not yet formed a head.
Put toothpaste on your pimple before you go to bed, should help reduce swelling overnight. Make sure it is the paste not the gel. One of the most popular acne home remedies.
Tea Tree oil can also be applied directly to infected pores.
Apply fresh lemon juice on the affected area overnight. Wash off with warm water next morning.
Drink plenty of water.
Pimple Removal :
Prepare for a small surgical pimple removing procedure. You'll need a small sewing needle, a bottle of alcohol, some gauze (or a small band-aid), and some warm water. Some people think you'll need to run a needle through a flame. This isn't Dr. Quinn Medicine woman. Rubbing alcohol will do.
Wash your face and hands before attempting to pop the pimple. Washing your face and hands ensures that all makeup, oils, germs and bacteria are no longer near the pimple you're about to burst. Also, dip a majority of the needle in the alcohol, and for safe measure apply some of that alcohol to your fingers and the pimple--dabbing with some gauze to dry the area.
Prick the white part of the pimple very lightly with the tip of your needle. Once you've done that, put two small squares of gauze on either side of the pimple and apply pressure with two fingers to ensure that the remaining puss is squeezed out of the pore, retaining pressure until clear liquid appears. When clear liquid or blood appears, you'll know the pimple is gone.
Wipe the pimple clean with an alcohol soaked gauze pad. It'll sting a little, but that's a good thing. The alcohol will kill most of the bacteria in and around the wound, helping you to avoid an infected pimple. If you wish, you can put a small, sterile bandaid on the area or cover it with an antibacterial concealer.
Never pop a pimple. Try using Mary Kay Blemish Control. You could see your dermatalogist if you're really worried.
sounds like a under the skin pimple or a boil. Dont squeeze or try to pop...best thing is a hot pack to bring to a head. Keep the skin clean and maybe use zit cream or medication on that area
