Is this a pimple or did I get bit by a bug? It just appeared two days ago in the middle of the day , I noticed it because my chin just started itching and thats when I felt the bump, I dont recall getting a breakout that itched before, but also I think I would have known if a bug was on my face, its around that time of the month for me and I do get one breakout on my face somewhere but never like this
From a dermatologic standpoint that is not a pimple but a furuncle. OTC salicylates / BP won't work on this, its a Staph aureus infection and typical treatment is vancomycin with possible incision/drainage. If you had done TTO:isopropyl alcohol as per my recommendation it may have contained it somewhat. It will still speed healing if you begin using it now.

Neutrogena and SudoCrem aren't the same thing. Try ordering SudoCrem or if you can find E45 Cream that would be good too. SudoCrem is an antiseptic cream.
