    Does it have a head on it? What colour is it? Is it smooth or does it feel different say gritty etc?

    It could be a boil oran ingrowing hair! If it worries you it won't hurt to go to the walk in centre :)

    Sounds a lot like a spot. Personally I'd go for whichever is easiest! Pharmacist or walk in centre should be able to help.

    i might just go to a pharmasist, theres a good one in edgware road or down the road from me. its such a pain, i was going to wear a holter neck top but didn't cos it look gross, and it fucking hurts especialy with my bra on

    id get a pin then squeeze it.
    if not then a GP. I cant imagine what a pharmacist would do?

    I would personally try the homeopathic remedy belladonna 30c either as a one off or maybe one a day for about 3 days.

    i haven't taken that stuff for ages...that was what my mum used to give me instead of capol when i have a fever...

    yes, i'll give it a go and if it hasn't gone down by tomorrow i'm gonna sqooze it...but i'm gonna put a drop of lavender oil and a hot compress on it first...

    Normally when I get spots I just put some germolene or sudocrem on them, works pretty good.

    One of my family friends says if you're in England go see a pharmacist because they are very good.

    a pharmacist will more than likely suggest antiseptic such as savlon/germolene.
    has it gone?
