Pimples, Papules

Name: Mandy
Question:

I have recently developed a small bump on my chin, its red and tender! I dont think its a boil and in general my skin is fine, dont have a lot of trouble with spots! Im 17years old and as you can imagine i hate having this small bump on my chin, any advice to get rid of this would be appreciated very much. thank you x p.s my friend says toothpaste works? is that a myth or does it actually help!

Dear Mandy,

The bump may represent a cyst. It may be a good idea to visit a dermatologist to have it injected to bring down the swelling.
