Question 1

what to do if i have a huge pimple on my chin: which treatment should i undergo to get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Pimples vs acne: There may be a variety of causes at first need to be evaluated prior to recommending a blanket statement. Hormonal or food sensitivities may require medication. Otherwise good skin hygiene with possible use of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory agents as well as topical retinoids may be beneficial.

Question 2

i have a huge swollen pimples on my chin half the size of it! they either pop and go away or the pain goes away but stay as a swollen lump for months ?

Accepted Answer

Perioral dermatitis: This cyctic nodule will require a stronger prescription creme than the over the counter acne creams.  I usually use retin-a , in combination with doxycycline twice a day, which works well to clear up bacteria implicated in cyctic acne.   Retin-a exfoliates the skin.  Don't pick, you may worsen scarring.  Both of these medications are available by prescription.

Question 3

It might be milia: Or a cyst. See your dermatologist to evaluate. Take care.

Question 4

Question 5

can you tell me how to get rid of a big pimple on my chin?

Accepted Answer

Troublesome: There is no quick fix.  There are good treatments to be had at every drugstore starting with benzoyl peroxide creams and mild cleansers.   For a single pimple, try a hot shower and then a warm wet compress, if ready to drain, can help.  Don't scratch or pick.

Question 6

i popped a pimple on my chin, and puss came out,then a little while later a clear fluid started coming out-a little bit at a time, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Leave it alone: Popping pimples is generally not a good idea. The fluid is liquid part of blood and will cover the wound. If you have pimples you may consult this site for home treatment.

See a doctor: The pimple may be infected if it has not healed. Try not to touch it and see your doctor as soon as you can to have a look at it. They may prescribe a special medicated ointment or antibiotic if needed.

Question 10

this morning i noticed something like a pimple on my chin.. that doesn't look like a pimple though and it hurts even to talk. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Deeper infection?: It could be a deeper inflammation or infection of a skin structure such as a hair follicle or specialized oil or sweat gland.  These are often larger and deeper feeling than a pimple and can feel firm or hard.  If under chin (under jaw line) it could be a lymph node.  If on front facing surface of chin, it is more likely a deeper skin infection  Don't squeeze or pick it.  If gets worse,see doctor
