I have a massive pimple forming on my chin

I woke up this morning and my chin was sore. I thought I bumped it during the night on DH's elbow or something. I get to work and I see it's a pink bump! I'm so pissed. Who gets pimples like this at 29??????????

Re: I have a massive pimple forming on my chin

every once in a while I'll get one like that & I'm 29 too

Re: I have a massive pimple forming on my chin

Me too! It usually forms right on my jaw bone and KILLS! I put a hot compress on it, and then lightly prick it with a pin. If I don't do this then it becomes a cyst and I have to go to the dermatologist and get cortisone injected into it

dont laugh- put tooth paste on it before you go to bed tonight- it will be pain free in the am. i swear by this

Re: I have a massive pimple forming on my chin

I still break out randomly and I HATE it!! (mostly when I'm PMSing tho). I thought that was way behind me (I'm 24).

I second that toothpaste suggestion. I've done it also.

I'll try that. It's painful and thankfully not at a head. I hope it doesn't get to be one.

My sister has had this done. I've been really fortunate not to have a lot of breakouts. I'm not even PMSing! AF went away this weekend so the only thing I can connect this with is stress.

Re: I have a massive pimple forming on my chin

I will be 29 this summer and still suffer from the same exact pimples you are describing

Re: I have a massive pimple forming on my chin

I still get those types of pimples from time to time. For me, they are directly attributed to stress.

I have one forming on my chin too! I was washing my face last night and my chin hurt. It felt like a bruise, but then i feel this huge lump...and I'm 30 I used a biore face mask and it feels smaller already.

My make up artist suggested using calamine lotion.

My friend and I call them 'wookas' (we don't know where we came up w/ that) But It helps me when I use a hot compess and also exfoliate so the bad crap can escape
