TMI, BUT I'm Desperate
I have a big pimple on my breast. I think it started as an enlarged pore then I "popped", I known I shouldn't have  .
Now its a week and a half later and its still there. I have tried to pop it again and have gotten white pimple stuff out (I know this is really disgusting). But, I have also been cleaning it with alcohol and bacatricin and it still looks red and kind of raised. Does this warrant a doctor's visit??? Or should I just leave it alone. My husband thinks this whole thing is hysterical and keeps telling me its a pimple.

Re: TMI, BUT I'm Desperate
Sometimes pimples can linger for awhile...does it look better or worse than it did?

It sounds infected. Does it go down if you ice it?
I would consider going to the doctor if it doesn't look like it's healing in another week.

Definately better, until I played with it again. For some reason, I beleive if I can pop it, it will heal.

Haven't iced it, but I have used warm compresses and it does go down.

Re: TMI, BUT I'm Desperate
I agree - give it another week and if there is no change (or if it gets worse) it might be worth a call to check it out.
I find that any blemishes or marks in that area (for me) tend to take a little longer to heal and I have always thought that maybe the skin is a little more sensitive there.
I hope it gets better soon!

I'm not writing this to scare you or others and I'm in NO way saying this is what you have...just a little PSA.
If anyone every has what "looks" like a pimple on their breast that won't go away for a long period of time have it checked out. There is a form aof breast cancer called IBC(Inflamatory Breast Cancer). It sometimes starts out as what you would think is a pimple on your breast.
My stepmom had a "pimple" that wouldn't go away. After trying to pop it numerous times she went to her doctor. After him telling her to use hot moist rags and different creams and it not going away she went to another doctor who diagnosed her with BC.
Sorry so long and again...not trying to scare OP....I promise.
