So basically I had this tiny tiny under skin spot which I left alone and happily let it heal by itself , I get these about once every month of so and usually they arnt a bother at all.Then yesterday I noticed that it had a small white had so I began to squeeze it, worst mistake ever. Tiny bit of stuff came out, like the stuff that comes out of blackheads. I put Sudocream on it and went to sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst pain I've ever had onmy chin, I went to the bathroom and began to squeeze again, hardly anything came out apart from blood and water. I wanted to cry. I've put a facemask on it hopefully it will disinfect it.It is now 5 in the morning and I am defiantly not going to school, my entire chin has swollen up and it is extremely painful, I have never had anything like this before, it even hurts if I speak please help me
i can literally feel it throbbing and I can't move my mouth without pain, I want to cry my eyes out please give me advice
Step guide :
- Benzoyl Peroxyde once or twice a day to open up the pores and make the puss come out. But please for the sake of it, don't touch it again. I know it's hard, but know it's inflammed and everything : squeezing it out will only make it worse.
- To reduce the swelling, use ice cube : they constrict the blood vessels thus reducing the redness and everything. Don't apply the cubes directly on your skin as it'll cause inflammation (and not too long, like 7-8 minutes on, 7-8 minutes off for a couple of times).
- It will take time to heal. I'm not a dermatologist and I can't see your chin, but sure thing it'll take a couple of days, maybe 7-10 to clear itself up if it became infected or if you damaged the inner layers of the skin.
i had a cyst on my face near my mouth for months never came to a head until I applied magnesium sulfate paste every night for about a week this draws out the cyst allowing to come to a head, mine popped on it owns when washing my face one morning. it has healed with no scar now.
