Since my skin is sensitive, I always tried not to mess with my pimples, but this last one is really inflamed and feels full inside. They say squeezing it would make it worse, but if I leave it, it has literally been on my face for a week. What do you guys do in such situations? Should I go to the doctor for a pimple extraction, or would you recommend a product?
I also had a pimple right next to my nose that was full, but I hesitated to squeeze it. I went to the dermatologist, and she said it could get infected and gave me an antibiotic cream. It dried up and went away in 3-4 days. Seriously, don’t touch it, or it will leave a scar.
I had something like that on my neck too, it seemed inflamed, but when I pressed it, it turned bright red and got worse. I had bought tea tree oil from a pharmacy and applied it gently with a cotton ball, it really helped. But you say you have sensitive skin, so it might not work for you.
Actually, if you've had that on your face for a week, why didn't you go to the doctor sooner? It could get worse if it got infected before getting advice here; I think you should go get a check-up directly. Things done at home are risky, in my opinion.
Since your skin is sensitive, it’s definitely better not to play with it. In inflamed acne, sometimes the infection inside can spread under the skin, and it can be difficult to realize. Medical intervention may be necessary, so it would be good to consult a dermatologist.
I actually thought about going to the doctor, but I waited because I thought it wasn't a big deal, maybe it would go away on its own. But now it seems like it has gotten even worse, I can't even touch it. I will try your suggestions.
Just go directly to the dermatologist, don't waste time, I think. In the worst case, you can resolve it very quickly with an antibiotic cream. If you mess with it, you might have a scar and the infection can grow.
