I have one of these right now!!! It hurts like a bitch. I have squeezed and squeezed, and it won’t come to a head. I went to the doctor Friday (for something else) and she said it was nothing to worry about, probably an ingrown hair. But it’s the size of a dime. And bruised now.

Begone you pus-filled pustule! Ick.

I will try some of your remedies suggested here. Toothpaste, Preparation H, and Neosporin?
