Cyst type thing on temple wont go away when popped?

ive had this lump under my skin on my right temple for a long time, id hate to guess how long and have it b wrong if that makes a difference in anyones answer, but ill just say like 4 months or so. sometimes its not so visible because it would b small enough that the skin wouldnt buldge out much, but its popped a few times now and some blood and pus comes out but it always heals up somewhat smaller but never acually goes away. it hurts too, but only when its irritated from popping. when its not irritated and i touch it its like i can feel it moving around under the skin like its just full of some fluid that just doesnt want to leave. im probably gonna go to a dermatologist at this point to figure it out once and for all i just hope its nothing serious, because i also have something like this going on between my eyebrows now that ive popped a few times now and its gotten much smaller, all i can describe it as is cystic acne, or a boil or a carbuncle, i just hope its nothing more serious

You can get it drained. That will keep it at bay. Its nothing serious unless its close to the eye. Its on your temple far enough from your eye. I will give you comfort in telling you any cancerous bump/lump never discharges any kind of puss and it does not pop. Get to the dermatologist as you suggested and all the best to you.

Reply:You probably aren't getting all of it quite out of there is why it keeps coming back. I sometimes have big zits like that, and it takes awhile to get rid of them. Try taking some zinc...I had a cold and took zinc for it and it really cleared some of my zits up too.
Reply:What you described are cyst and they will have to be surgically removed to get rid of them permanently. If you just drain them they will always come back.
Reply:I believe that you may have a condition called Hidradenitis Supprativa. It is a condition of re-occurring boils/ cysts/abscesses , that are often misdiagnosed as ingrown hairs, herpes, being unclean and folliculitis. This is a newly diagnosed skin condition , but there is a lot of info out there.

If this sounds like it might be you, READ it, PRINT it out, and TAKE it to your DOC.


Its better to try to start treatment soon, it can spread over the body if left untreated. These boils can become quite large and painful. Sometimes even lasting for weeks or months , do not attempt to POP them they can then tunnel under your skin and spread all over the body. Most common areas are armpits, groin, binkni line, inner legs, and intimate places and basically anywhere that sweats and rub against clothing. Stress is a big inducer.

I have had this for 8 years, I was misdiagnosed for a LONG time, It was very embarrassing, painful and scary. I am just trying to help out so you don鈥檛 have to wait as long as I did.
