A couple days ago I started seeing a bump on my chin, obviously I knew it was a pimple. But now it's so big that I don't even know what kind of pimple it is. It's hard and kind of looks like a scab. Any ideas?

It looks like a welt from a bug bite.

Or it could be a cystic pimple. Is it really painful?

It must be due to hormonal issues...

Every pimple we get on face is due to inner reasons or dirt in pores... try tea tree oil facewash.. and papaya gel... with green tea scrub which is really mild...

Does it hurt or itch? Did you feel it coming-like that spot was sensitive on your face before you got it?

All bug bites can look different, but this is a common presentation. Notice the edges and although the bump is raised, it has somewhat of a flat top, whereas typical pimples big or small usually gave a rounded top. They can be c slightly rounded or extremely rounded depending on the stage and severity of the pimple. Also, bug bites will usually present with redness surrounding the "welt" or bump, not just on the bump itself.

If it is cystic acne I have a cure! I struggle with terrible cystic acne during that time of the month and I've finally found something that works! The Mario Badescu buffering lotion. It's really a miracle ladies:)

Try using some ice and honey. Ice is going to take the redness away and the honey , well , it will make it smaller and less visible.
If you want , you can apply some tea tree oil on it , twice a day , until the pimple is gone.
