So I got this pimple-like thing on my chin in late September 2015. It's been about a nickel sized red bumb for just over four months now. It's been driving me crazy! It hurts so bad just to barely touch it and it doesn't have a head to pop so I've just been waiting for it to get smaller or go away.
Well four months later it still hasn't gone away. Tonight it was really bothering me and I scratched it. When I got up to look in the mirror it looked like it was bleeding. It was- but under my skin. It really freaked me out so I finally just dealt with the pain and stuck a needle in it. It popped and started oozing mostly clear liquid and not much blood. My nickel sized bump instantly turned almost black and kept oozing for an hour. After ALL that, it's STILL there. And in the same full size as it was before.
I'm so confused. Any suggestions to what it could be, or any treatment suggestions. I'm trying to get into a dermatologist, but he's booked and I'm just waiting for someone to cancel. PLEASE HELP!!!
I have the exact same thing on my chin! I've tried to pop it and only clear fluid and blood came out and it got worse. Now a few months later I still have a red raised bump there. It's almost like it keep re-filling up with fluid. I still have yet to find a cure...

I've heard of some members who have had luck using PRID drawing salve to draw out the infection for acne cysts. Just google PRId drawing salve. I've never used but from what I understand it's a pretty common product and available OTC at most drugstores. I've included the thread link below!
