Question

I have a giant pimple that has been on me for months

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Hello,

Dealing with a persistent bump between the eyebrows can be frustrating, especially if it has been present for several months. Here are a few considerations and steps you might take to address this issue:

Diagnosis: It's important to determine whether the bump is indeed a pimple or something else, such as a cyst or a benign growth. A thorough examination can help in identifying the nature of the bump.

Treatment Options:

Topical Treatments: If it's acne-related, topical treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid might be beneficial.
Intralesional Corticosteroid Injection: For cystic acne, a corticosteroid injection can reduce inflammation and size.
Excision: If the bump is a cyst or another type of growth, surgical removal might be necessary.
Skincare Routine: Maintaining a consistent skincare routine with gentle cleansing and non-comedogenic products can help prevent future occurrences.

Follow-Up: Regular follow-up appointments can ensure the treatment is effective and adjust the approach if necessary.
