I've got like this zit thing?!

Question: I've got like this zit thing?

Ha ha! Bear with me. I'm 15, I've never had acne before, and today I noticed I've got a lump under my skin. Its red (on my face) and sore, and feels like a big bead stuck under my skin. Ha ha, what do i expect from it? What do I do?

(I use a face clearing-thingy that seems to have worked well so far since I've never gotten zits before)

Answers:

Sounds like a really big zit (common at your age...ill explain in a sec), or it could be an even worse pimple-type thing called a CYST. thats a worse infection and takes like 3 weeks to heal

you said youve never "had acne before"...well not to pop your bubble, but alot of guys get it at your age or later. testosterone spikes at end of puberty so acne appears due to the over stimulation of the oil glands. so start attacking the acne now, use an anti-acne wash as a preventative measure. if it gets unmanagable, make a call to a dermatologist.

It just sounds like an immature zit. leave it for a while and it may go away. I've had plenty
