So,
I’ve had this bump on my chin,
right under the jawline.
It’s been there for a while now—maybe two or three years.
Honestly, it never really bothered me; I could almost forget it was even there,
since it’s invisible to the eye and you can only feel it if you touch it.
But, I decided to mess with it the other day, squeezing at it a bit, and some kind of oily substance came out—kind of like white sebum from an unseen pore. No big deal, right?
Well, I woke up the next morning to find the bump swollen. The skin around it is red, and there’s this constant, dull ache. It isn't exactly sharp pain, but more like a nagging sensation letting me know things are inflamed.
It’s been three days now, and it hasn't subsided.
I haven't made an appointment with a doctor yet.
Has anyone dealt with something similar, or does anyone have any advice?
Is this something for a dermatologist, or should I be looking at a different specialist?
Thanks.
