Big, hard, and painful acne that seems to grow under the skin...you cant pop it even if you tried!?


Question:
i get this "zit" about once a month that feels like this really big bump under my skin and it is really painful. its not like a regular pimple that has a "head". its just like this bump!! what is it and how can i cure it!!

i wash my face twice a day, use moisturizer, and barely wear any make up...whats the problem!??

Answers:
it's internal... cystic acne. go see a dermatologist -- yo may need an antibiotic.
It could be a cyst under the skin.. I would go see a dr.
Sounds more like a boil which are caused by bacteria.
not sure what the problem is but try (my mate showed me this because i had a spot like it) using a searing hot pin and pop it like that!!
Those suck.
My dermatologist said you have to "dry them up".
So every hour or so, dap it with alcohol wipes, and it'll become a regular pimple with a head faster.
It is known as a sebaceous zit. It is an inflamed oil gland just like a regular zit. It just happens to be deep.

Unfortunately, there's not a lot that can be done about it without having a "procedure" in a doctor's office.
You are young and going through hormone changes. It sucks, I remember. I had very bad acne when I was young and sometimes they didn't have a head, they would just pop out on my face and not go away. I felt so ugly. My brother got me Proactiv and it works within 2 weeks (it's not cheap though). See if your parents will buy you that, it works like a charm!

Good luck!
wash your face with MARK products, you can get them at avon.com, they work great and are cheap :)
This sounds horrible... well it is horrible: You can pop them by using a small needle to pierce through the layers to get to the core. It leaves you with a bad mark for a few days and a good chance of infection.
Don't do it. Just sharing knowledge.
DONT try to pop it. This type of acne can cause scarring. There's not a whole lot you can do, other than go to a dermatologist.
