Help! Weird growth on my face.

[katyon6th]

I have this growth on my face which appears to be a pimple but it's not. I've had it on my face for almost two weeks now and it won't go away. Anybody know what it could be? Should I see a dermatologist? Please don't make fun of my misfortune. I've suffered enough with this thing on my face. :(

[BacktoBasics]

I don't even know where to start with this.

[ManuTP9]

Im not sure what that is, does it itch?, if its still bothering then you should really see a dermatologist.

[JudynTX]

A boil?

[manufan10]

:ttiwwp:

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Cyst?

See the derm.

[BacktoBasics]

A boil?Crab boil sounds pretty good right now.

[symple19]

go to webmd, usually a good place to start short of a doctor

[BacktoBasics]

Stick a fucking needle in it and be done.

[katyon6th]

I don't even know where to start with this.

Did I say something wrong?

[katyon6th]

It doesn't itch and there's no pain. It's just a bump on my face that looks awful. Hmm. Typically boils and cysts hurt to the touch, no?

[LOL]

LOL wart face!

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Typically boils and cysts hurt to the touch, no?

No.

It could be a number of things and most likely is just a clogged pore/follicle.

See a derm.

[BacktoBasics]

Did I say something wrong?Everything looks good on this end :fishing

[BacktoBasics]

No.

It could be a number of things and most likely is just a clogged pore/follicle.

See a derm.or stick a needle in it and be done.

[ploto]

a bite?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

or stick a needle in it and be done.

That's always the first thing to do.

Then see a derm.

[BacktoBasics]

That's always the first thing to do.

Then see a derm.she might not have derm insurance.

Don't forget to heat the needle up with a lighter first.

[ManuTP9]

she might not have derm insurance.

Don't forget to heat the needle up with a lighter first.

wont that leave a perm mark on your face?

[BacktoBasics]

wont that leave a perm mark on your face?needle not nail

[katyon6th]

[CosmicCowboy]

I have one like that in exactly the same place. You get them right before the liver spots.

[I. Hustle]

I'll tell you what you should have on your face... my pener

What the hell is a liver spot anyway??

It's a third nipple. :toast

I think you're stuck in an incident. You need to do a locational on yourself. This is your skin's response to your denial of the truth!

[JudynTX]

:lol @ the troll

[CosmicCowboy]

It's those spots you get when your skin starts to go...

Oh right. But they don't actually have anything to with your liver.

[Fpoonsie]

Manufan10's right.

It's a nubbin.

[katyon6th]

I'm only 25. There's no way my skin is ready for liver spots yet.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

It looks like an ingrown hair. I had a friend with one of those, and his derm pulled a six inch whisker out of it.


My vote's on facial hair.

[florige]

That little thing? :lol You can barely even see it. It looks like your hair can cover it up to be honest. I would let it be for a while unless it is just getting on your nerves or something.

[Seth Brundle]

That's how my troubles started........

[jack sommerset]

It looks like a cyst. Better go get it removed. They get bigger and usually more follow.

[PizzaFace]

Suffering!?!? :bang :bang

[CosmicCowboy]

I'm only 25. There's no way my skin is ready for liver spots yet.

I was just kidding about the liver spots. I don't have them either. I wasn't kidding about the other thing...I actually have one just like it on my right cheek about an inch below yours. It just showed up in my 20's and I still have it. I have had a couple dermatologist checkups (I'm in the sun a lot and really don't want melanoma) and they didn't see anything wrong with it from a health standoint...and besides...that stuff on guys is just "character"...unlike women where it's really creepy..LOL just kidding.

An alien has impregnated your face.

[nuclearfm]

I read that semen can clog pores.

[bus driver]

...because this is where i would ask a medical question.

GO TO THE FUCKING DOCTOR!

if you were that concerned you would have gone already, if not do what B2B stated and stick a needle in it :bang

[Ginofan]

Katy, I have a good recommendation for a dermatologist if you want to go that route, let me know!

[katyon6th]

Why are you so angry? Calm down.

[tlongII]

A dermatologist can get rid of that if you want him to. It's probably a cyst or keratosis. Neither is serious and can be removed via liquid nitrogen. I've had both.

[tlongII]

Actually cysts are usually cut out. But it's still nothing to be concerned about.

[The Final Countdown]

Your X-rays look negative.

Katy, did you go to the doctor?

[Soul_Patch]

lol....ORLY?

[katyon6th]

I bought some over the counter topical cream a friend suggested. If it doesn't show any relief by Monday, I'm going to see a dermatologist.

Mouse, you really are talented.

[jman3000]

Is it hard? Spongey? Is it part of the skin or does it move independently under it?

I've had a small cyst-like thing under my lip for like a year now. They said it was just an infected hair follicle that solidified or something.

Did you have a pimple in the general area before the growth formed? Most likely a doc is gonna put you on anti biotics (which won't do shit) and tell you to wait till the prescription is out... once it's out he'll say to come back if nothing happens and he might lance it.

Yes... and I meant nutbag with the utmost respect.

Well thank you kind sir.

[katyon6th]

Because I'm sure you were all concerned... it was a fucking pimple. It got infected. Gross, I know. But I'm all better now. No scarring.

[JudynTX]

I was wondering what it was. Glad you're better now.

At least that pretty face is still intact....

[Summers]

I had a weird crusty growth on my temple last year and went to see a dermatologist who said it was an age spot. I was seriously bothered by that. :lol But she froze it off for me and I only had to pay a copay so it was all good.

Surprisingly there were some accurate diagnoses in here.

It could have been serious did you thank your boyfriend for pointing it out?

[katyon6th]

I was hoping we had a ST member that was a doctor. Free medical advice is okay in my book. Plus, it was a bump on my face. If I was bleeding out my ass, I doubt I'd seek medical advice here.

Which we all know isn't really a doctor.

Actually your a very brave woman. And you did a service for others reading who may have the same condition. You would be surprised how ST topics show up on Google and Yahoo I think your above the spineless wannabe's that can never say what is really going on in their lives you should get some sort of Spur under your avatar! :tu

:lol There are actually a few regular posters here that are real doctors.


Oh... and I'm glad your growth is fixed, Katy :)

[2Blonde]

LOL. You can run from old age, but you can't hide..

Ain't that the truth. I have precancerous lesions burned off ever 8-12 months. I just had two of them, on my forehead, frozen off on Monday. I stay out of the sun and wear sunblock every day but my meds & my disease make me prone to them. :bang

[Dr.McDreamy]

I'm available.

Oh, man. And here I am complaining about an infected pimple. Boo!

[SAGambler]

Oh, man. And here I am complaining about an infected pimple. Boo!

Anytime something just "pops up" on your skin it should be cause for concern. These things can become very dangerous. Most people don't know that these can become a dangerous cancer.

I have had 3 removed through surgery and numerous others burnt off with that liquid nitrogen they use. Of course I have spent many years out in the hot sun with no protection, and now it's catching up with me. I have to see my dermatologist every 6 months. Right now they are having me "chemical peel" my arms, to get rid of some of the stuff.

[Kamala]

Go to a doctor and he/she will let you know really quickly. When in doubt that's the best bet.

I have had several pre-cancerous moles removed. I'm prone to getting them.
