Avatar f tn i have mrsa. and i get the holes and the dots. the sores won't heal until that dot is out. if i leave it alone, it gets big. and sometimes it turns black under the skin. i peel off and it stinks.
Avatar m tn m positive that the bump actually a sebaceous cyst as u said. good news is now (after 2 weeks) the cyst is shrinking on its own. i'm so happy.
Avatar n tn I have about 4 locations on my face where it just looks like a red bump- like a zit- but it almost never goes away. What will make it heal, sometimes for months, is finding the pore and putting a needle in it and causing it to bleed. I know that sounds terrible but if I don't do that the sore will be there for months, maybe years. I can usually stick the needle in about 1/2" without causing it to bleed and that will sometimes cause it to heal.
Avatar f tn Yes, it should fade with over time. If you had it for four months, it may take twice as long to fully heal and fade. The skin has over-produced collagen during those early healing stages, hence the soft bubble bump. Be careful not to pick, extract or over-exfoliate the area, because the scarring will become worse. Good luck!!
Avatar m tn Hello, It can be a sebaceous cyst. A sebaceous cyst is a closed sac occurring just under the skin which contains a "pasty" or "cheesy" looking substance called keratin. They may occur anywhere on body but scalp, ears, back, face, and upper arm, are common sites for sebaceous cysts. Blocked sebaceous glands, swollen hair follicles and excessive testosterone production will cause such cysts.
Avatar n tn I have an acne cyst on my cheek that has been there for about 2 weeks and its driving me insane...its impossible to cover up with makeup, it hurts, it won't come to a head, and its disfiguring my face! I've had a couple cysts in the past but they've all eventually came to a head. I just want this to go away. Does anyone know any techniques about how to get a cyst to go away or come to a head?
Avatar f tn Every time I have sex I get a reoccurring cyst to the right of my clitoris. (Not clitoral hood just close to it) I have no idea why it happens. And its rather frustrating it goes away within a week (max) but it comes right back after intercourse. In fact it occurs during intercourse. Begin sex with out it, and i finish with a lump down there. Any idea what it could be? ( maybe it isn't a sebaceous cyst) Any idea what could cause it? And how can I prevent it? (Without getting rid of sex...

Avatar f tn Hello, It can be due to a small sebaceous cyst. A sebaceous cyst is a closed sac occurring just under the skin which contains a "pasty" or "cheesy" looking substance called keratin. They may occur anywhere on body but scalp, ears, back, face, and upper arm, are common sites for sebaceous cysts.
1769312 tn?1313863170 It could be acne. I get one or two pimples each month with my period. They're usually on my face, but sometimes they're on my back, my scalp, or my arms. If it is acne, remember that flare-ups are caused by surges in hormones, and any number of things natural (like periods) and womanmade (like obesity) can cause hormonal disturbances. I'm not sure if you mean the bumps recur in the exact same spot or not.
Avatar f tn Hi may i say the Shin does take month's to heal , i also had a bad scrape on the Shin and wouldn't heal , but given time it will , as i say it will heal; but is terribly slow place to heal , Take care ,
Avatar f tn I had warm baths and then pus and bit of blood came out but not enough to heal them. They go up and down on a daily basis. Sometimes they are sore when I walk or sit. I suffer from cystic acne and wondered if they were connected to that. Something that might be connected, is, for last year and a half I have been getting a reocurring cyst/boil in crease on back of my neck. It comes up in very warm weather, to the size of a large marble. It is painful and eventually bursts with pus.
Avatar f tn I do not have bumps like this, however, I do have acne. I believe this started out like a pimple When looking at it, you notice the pin hole, but that's about it. If it weren't for that, I don't think you would notice it unless you rubbed my arm. It isn't raised. You can feel the bump underneath the skin, more like a cyst. It feels like a ball. I do see my doctor regularly for acne along with depression.
Avatar n tn Sebaceous cysts are not dangerous and can usually be ignored. Placing a warm moist cloth over the area may help the cyst drain and heal. In your case, injection with a steroid medicine usually reduces the swelling. A more permanent solution is by surgically removing the cyst. If not treated with antibiotics, these may form painful abscesses. Antibiotic treatment, indeed, takes time for effects to be seen. But it is important that you finish the prescribed time to prevent antibiotic resistance.
10743983 tn?1440210210 Have acne on face, shoulders and chest, and feel as if it won't just heal up? I swear! I am due next Saturday, and I'm pretty positive the acne I've had since the beginning still hasn't cleared up and has only gotten worse? Does anyone else feel this way? It's such a pain in the a.s.s so tired of looking like this! My chin is absolutely horrific... Oy.
Avatar m tn Health anxiety is right. This is probably an acne cyst. Just leave it alone and stop fretting about it. It will likely diminish in time.
Avatar n tn Thanks. The other day I was getting impatient that it still wasn't feeling better so I pressed and rubbed on the spot some. Since then the irritation has gotten much worse and now it feels really tight in that spot and more painful. Could I have done more harm to it that will not allow it to heal it properly and create scar tissue or did I just really irritate it and slow down the healing process? It seems like now it almost hurts more than when it was first taken out.
Avatar n tn I got what looks like a cyst on the back of my neck about a year and a half ago and i get what looks like cyst acne on my face and neck and my girlfriend just told me she has a cyst on her armpit it looks like the same thing is this anything serious
Avatar f tn I am now 9 weeks and my acne is awful. Cyst like, hard, painful ones that take weeks to go away! Now I can't use my retinA cream. Anyone else have tips to relieve this?
Avatar f tn Vaginal boils can be due to infection, STD or it can be a Bartholin cyst. Apart from the tests for this also get tested for diabetes and hypothyroidism. It can also be due to allergy to something like undergarment, soaps, lotions, tampons, sanitary pads etc. You can soak in a tub filled with a few inches of warm water (sitz bath) several times a day for three or four days. This may rupture cyst and which will then drain on its own.
