My skins is pretty good really-I don't have lots of spots, but what I do have is the occasional (mainly hormone-related) very very deep spots-like cysts. They start off as a tiny-but agonising-spot which has no discernable head.
Then over the next day or two, it will get bigger and the skin swells up around it! If it's around my lips especially, one side of my lip swells up like I've been punched-it looks horrendous and is very very noticeable! They never come to a head but instead after a day ot two, the swelling goes down and I'm left with a huge lump very deep under the skin-no head and no pain. It's so big though that its silhouette is quite clear! The lump/cyst is squidgy to begin with and you can almost squash the gunk from one side of the spot/cyst to the other but it's so deep down, it would never come out. Then after a while, it goes hard and weeks later the lump gets smaller, but is horrible and a complete pain in the neck!
Apologies for the TMI, but I'm sick of them now and wonder if there's anything I can do? I've googled, but usually get US sites that recommend paying to see your dermatologist for a steroid injection?!
