Red, Sore bumps on my face but they don't come to a head like a pimple :(

I have same they appear just before period coupled with very bad pmt. They last for days abd scar but ive found that zovirax shrinks them down quickly and help form a head you can express to speed up healing also sepia homeopathic remedy has helped calm the hormonal burst before period so symptoms not as severe i think they are a mix of stress and hormone fluctuations.

seriously the one thing that works I find is: turn the tap on very hot, keep putting a washcloth under it and dabbing it on the bump, reheating right away, for several minutes. dry gently and dab with toothpaste. It really works, but only if you do it soon. If you let the bump rise up, it goes hard

But it isnt across the board. Nobody else has a cure…can you please try to remember and post the name?

Nodular Acne – A Nodule is characterized by the presence of large, inflamed breakouts.  Nodules are a larger and more serious form of acne (acne vulgaris).   They are hard, painful lumps under the skin’s surface. Much larger than papules, nodules form deep within the skin and take a long time to heal.   They affect deeper layers of the skin, and can be painful.  Nodular acne can occur on the face, back, and body.  This type of acne can cause severe, permanent scars, which can appear to be depressions in the skin or as hyperpigmentation – a dark red or brown flat mark where the acne lesions were.  Nodular acne should be treated by a medical doctor or dermatologist.

Hi Guys, i am 24 i have just started work about A week before i started a got this reach like thing on my face, it was very small i thought it must have been the sun at the beach, i tried exfloiating nathing. Started work got worse now i have macks and sore pimples on my face, i dont know what to do now. Please help i cant take this anymore a work with people all day i need my confidance back. thanks for listening and thank you for your help:):-)

Okay, I got this. Most of the things you guys are describing are painful, red lumps on your face that can stay for a while, like little deep welts. Well, prepare to be amazed! Like most of you, I have a pretty good complexion myself, until I started getting these lumps as well. I found out that they were actually allergic reactions from my ferret or my seasonal allergies, I can't figure out which one it is but whatever. The allergic reactions can come from bug bites, foods, medication, and all sorts of allergens. It is a condition called angioedema. All I'm saying is that you should try to find the source of a possible allergy and then use a sort of antihistamine medication. And for quick relief, you can always put some ice on it and take some ibuprofen.

Hey. I think these deep wletish bumps are an allergic reaction.

Hi All,

I'm 22 and having a very stressful year studying for an MA. I got these on my cheek about five months ago and did not know what to do. I looked at this thread and tried a couple of the things recommended but they didn't work for me. I went to my doctors and they prescribed me 'Duac' cream. You put it on your skin in the evening before bed and wash it off in the morning. It hasn't had any side effects and my skin is now CLEAR! A very good result and worth trying. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it already (sorry if you have and I've missed it). 

I have these sores on one of my cheeks. I noticed the first one after shaving and I had razor burn. I scratched my face and I got a piece of skin and it started oozing a clear oil looking pus out. I used some astringent on it after washing my face, this happened a few weeks ago. Within a few days after the first appearance seven to ten more have shown up same symptoms. I have tried clean and clear, astringent and proactive face cleanser, they haven't cleared and are very irritating, any suggestions?

Hi,
That is what I've got. The one on my chin is swollen and is sore to touch, as are all the others. They start off so small and within days there 3 times the size. Want to know what its called as they are not pimples.

Recently (in the last 3-4 mos) I have developed these little red bumps that just show up on my cheeks every now and then. I am 37 and I do believe that maybe it's because my body is changing. One of the things that I do is take a washcloth with water that is super hot (hot as you as an individual can handle) and aply it to the areas with bumps or I use the heat from my hairdryer when I am through doing my hair, PLEASE USE CAUTION WHEN USING THE HEAT OF A HAIR DRYER ON YOUR SKIN!!!! Both ofthose seem to work for me almost instantly.

 

 

 

I get very hard red bumps on the start of my nose.. I guess the bridge of my nose always on the left side by my eye.. it starts out as a sore area thts a little red .. thn it turns redder and it grows bigger but never has a head to squeeze out. Over time it grows really hard. I'm not telling anybody to do this but I get so desperate to gt rid of it that I sterilize a needle to poke a hole then I squeeze and clear puss comes out and thn hard whitish stuff pushes out. Then to bring down the swelling I damp a kleenex tissue with witch hazel n hold it there for hours. The witch hazel works miracles!!!. I always use this after squeezing a bump and getting the head I guess out and the bump disappear soo fast. But only if I gt everythng out. When I do and I use the witch hazel it goes flat immediately.. the only thng is after my skin peels where the hard knot type was and it leaves a dark spot. Then the next month it comes right back. I read posts and I agree that it is triggered by stress and menstrual cycle. I'm 26 n I've always had acne but now I jus gt these knots. . Hard red stubborn very sore knots in the same spot on my nose

So has anyone gone to the doctor yet and if so what did they say. I've got the same issue and its been about a month since the first one popped up and ive gotten about 10 all together since then.

I believe that it is related to gluten and eating carbs. I just did a test for a few months and stayed away from carbs completely and my face was spotless . I also used Aztec Indian healing clay that I bought at Sprouts (whole food store) . Then just last week started eating carbs and my face has hard itchy bumps along jaw that only bleed if squeezed . If anything does come out its a tiny hard skin piece like hair or a hard white small piece of something. It's definitely the carbs for me and fast food . I did a bentonite detox and it is pushing it all out but I know after I will not have whatever it is in combination to no carbs 

I just started getting these red bumps on my jaw line and my upper neck.. i had tried pinching them, thinking
they were pimples.. They get really sore.. They have scabbed over and look bad.. Good think I have a doctors appt comming up soon.
