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

Question 8

my 14 year old has a painful pimple on chin and it has deepened into the inside of mouth. it hurts when she chews & her chin hurts. how can i help her?

Accepted Answer

It sound like...: ....More than a pimple.  Start with hot compresses to help it come to a head and drain.  If that doesn't happen or if it worsens, see your doctor.  An antibiotic or manually opening the infection (called "incision and drainage") may be necessary to help it heal.

Question 9

i have a little pimple on my lip line? it has a white head but it hurts when i touch it or try to pop it

Accepted Answer

Pimple: Warm compresses to aid in its own natural healing. Popping it will only make it more red and angry and also risk spreading the bacteria of the pimple. You can also dry it a bit by blotting gently with an alcohol pad.

Question 10

i have a swollen bump on my chin/jaw. i think it might be a pimple because if i squeeze it a little puss comes out. when i touch it, hurts. ive had b4?

Accepted Answer

Abscess: Sounds like a skin abscess. Initially you can use warm compresses and then put neosporin or bacitracin. If it gets larger, doesnt drain or starts to have red streaks coming from it, then you need to see Doc asap.
