Skin lump: This could be an ingrown hair, inclusion cyst, lipoma or early abscess, especially if there is associated redness. A physician would have to examine you in order to make a diagnosis and advise you. If the lesion is not inflamed, you could have it looked at at your leisure.

How do I get rid of a blind pimple fast? I've had it for a few days, and it's swollen and hot to the touch. No head. Sort of flesh colored, redish around the outside. A tiny one next to it. (Both on jawline.)
