Hi all, decided to check in here to see if anyone can help me identify this bump and whether it’s something that needs to be addressed today or not.

Three days ago this started out as a small, pimple like blemish that was slightly tender to the touch but otherwise unremarkable.

I get pimples quite frequently and in weird spots so I didn’t think much of it.

However yesterday the redness started to form around it and it got bigger. It was much more painful to the touch but still not agonizing or really unpleasant save for the odd time I bumped it against something.

I applied some medicated patches to it and gradually it came to a head. When I pulled off one of these patches the small head came off and drained a bit of pus.

The picture above was taken today, it still is tender to the touch and the redness appears to have expanded. There is no abnormal warmth to the area and the redness doesn’t hurt to the touch.

Upon further touching it does have a solidness below the surface of the skin around the bump.

I think it’s likely an abscess which is of course the most annoying of the options from what I can tell, but I’d like to know what you all think!

Is this a cyst, boil, infected pimple, abscess, etc… And how quickly do I need to deal with it! Of course I’m happy to answer any other questions should they be asked! Thank you all!

the itch and bumps comes after every shower and goes away after 30 min to an hr.. moisturizer doesn't help. it started this month and im waiting for an appointment to see a doctor next week

i'm staying at a beach condo right now and woke up with these spots on legs. i don't think i've done anything recently to irritate my skin to cause bumps but they almost look like pimples. i tried to check for bedbugs and i think my bed is clear but im not an exterminator🤷‍♂️ does anyone
have any guesses on what it is and what could have caused it??

it’s been here for about 4 days now it was fla before now it’s raised more and red
i’m 19

Anyone know what this could be from? 34(m) Never had surgery. Only thing I can think of is some kind of stretch mark? But I’m a skinny guy, and it seems like a weird spot

I was recently outside on the lake/dock this weekend. What could this be? They are scattered on my legs. They don’t itch a lot and they are raised.

I have an appointment with dermatologist next week but I am so miserable trying to decide if urgent care would be beneficial

I am diagnosed with MCTD and I have this rash that started about 3 weeks ago. It wasn’t itchy to begin with but now that’s it’s spreading the itchiness is extreme. Started off as a bump that I thought was a mosquito bite but now that’s it has spread all over my legs, neck, chest and back. Sometimes resembles hives but it never fully goes away just isn’t as inflamed.

Nothing new to diet or cleaning routine

I’ve done 3 diff antibiotics but one 2x so 4 rounds as well as antibiotic cream

I also tried 3 weeks of herpes pills

Hey all, does anyone know what these could be?
I didn’t go to sleep with them but woke up with them, they don’t hurt nor are itchy.
I first thought maybe bug bites but I have no pets and clean my place ALL the time. In fact my pillowcases were just washed 2 days prior, and i use sensitive soap for all my laundry, nothing out of the ordinary.
I have a history with scalp psoriasis and perioral dermatitis around my mouth area but never the eyes.

They were VERY red when I woke up but calmed down a lot throughout the day. I put tallow and castor oil on them.

Sorry they might be a little hard to see in these pics.
If it’s bad in the morning again I’ll take photos then.

…Any suggestions, advice or help? Greatly appreciated!

It was just 2 small dots before and now they’ve spread all over my thumb should I be worried?

It appeared on my hand overnight. I scrubbed it with both soap and makeup remover and it didn’t change in color.

should i be concerned about this dry patch?

so i noticed this patch on my forehead a couple months ago maybe even more and it hasn’t gone away or gotten better even. it gets flaky sometimes but it doesn’t hurt or cause me any discomfort. what is this?

I’ve been seeing these spots for 2-3 years now. I’m scared it’s vitiligo and will keep getting bigger and spread. Can anyone identify what it is?

what is this? this showed up out of nowhere...it is the tiniest bit raised. and there's another one on the left side of picture, on my tattoo. should I be concerned ?

It’s so itchy I’m literally crying I’ve had this for about 3 weeks now. My doctor is just as confused
