Question: Is this a pimple, cyst above my ear or what !?
Hi,
I have this really sore thing above my ear!. I think it is a pimple but very deep!. It is really sore, but when I sqeeze it no puss comes out!. It looks like there is a pussy white head, small, but there, but wont sqeeze! I can hardly lay down on my left ear!. I just want to make sure that this is probably a pimple and nothing I should be worried about!? it just got there yesterday!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Pop down to your local chemist, let them have a look at it and hopefully it's a simple pimple and you can put some cream on to cause it to dry out!. If it's a cyst you might need to see your doctor and have it lanced and drained!.

Be careful with any "infection" like pimples/cysts, don't be forcefully popping it and causing the pus bag to burst under the skin!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I doubt it is a cyst as a cyst is usually painless!. My guess is a pimple or a boil!. You can just let it run it's course!. Do not try to squeeze out the pus!. A washcloth that has been heated with hot water and applied to the zone may help! If it breaks and pus comes out, be sure to disinfect the wound with peroxide or alcohol!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

maybe it is a boil, you may need antibotics to get rid of it!. Go look at pictures of boils!. By the ear is a common place to get one!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I get them once and a while and they HURT! Try putting a warm washcloth or hot compress on it to relieve the pain!. It should go away within a couple days!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
