I don’t ever really get pimples, but every now and then I’ll get these bumps on my chin right under my mouth. They’re always in the same spot, usually right around the corner of my mouth. They’re huge and painful and never come to a head like a pimple. If you try to squeeze them they look like hell for weeks. They go away on their own after a few days but the bigger ones will sometimes leave scar tissue or something in the spot where they were and that takes forever to go away. They aren’t really visible even unless you mess with them but they are annoying as hell.
Any strong sexy badasses know what this could be?[/quote]
I had a big lump like that on my neck a few months ago. It was like a pimple way under the skin but it never headed and sometimes it hurt like a bitch.
The doctor told me it was a furuncle, which he describe as a pimple deep under the skin LOL. He gave me some antibiotics and it shrank up.
But it looked nothing like a pimple or a sore. Just a smooth lump.
Oh, also, he told me that icing it was good but not to use a heating pad or hot waschloths because it’s an infection and the heat could make it worse. I had been trying to draw it out like it was a normal zit but he said it was so deep, that wasn’t going to happen.

I doubt this is the same. Being right around the mouth, it is sounds more like Sialadenitis. This is a common finding in dentistry caused by trapped saliva and mucous that comes and goes.

Btw, something that everyone who ever has dry skin or uses lotion can benefit from is virgin coconut oil. Unlike lotion, which merely hydrates skin temporarily due to the water within the product, coconut oil actually has healing properties within it that actually repair your skin. I hated using lotion every night only to have somewhat dry hands and nail beds the next day. After using coconut oil for 2-3 days before going to bed, my hands were completely rid of their dryness. I was very impressed. My hands have never looked better, and this is coming from someone who used to use cuticle cream on his hands every morning. Give it a try. You won’t regret it. Also, as a plus, you can cook with the stuff if you wanna give your food a very different, albeit healthy, edge.[/quote]
Thanks for the tip. I have extremely dry hands at times and using chalk at the gym only makes it even worse. I’ll shave the the calluses in my hands every two weeks then apply some bag balm afterwards. Seems to help a bit but I’d like to see if using virgin coconut makes a difference or not…we’ll see.
Here is a simple yet underappreciated tip, wash your stank hands often.
Think about it, you touch this, touch that, then touch your face or mouth. Your hands have a shit ton of germs, wash them before you eat, before you groom yourself, this is a no brainer.

Just a heads up, but from someone who can get so ashy I look like Mcauly Caulkin, they have cocoa butter and shea butter oil for babies (they sell it as “baby oil”) and putting that on right after taking a shower allows me to stay black, fresh and clean.
Girls don’t like ashy.

Plus it smells righteous. I use it while rinsing off in the shower so I don’t get too oily. Mrs. Loudog loves her chocolate daddy!!
Definitely fit in this category. Righteous.

Wow, I just realized that I sounded like an infomercial. It works very well for me. Far better than lotion, I’ll say. Some people claim that it’s nothing short of miraculous on the face as a moisturizer. I used in on my face for two nights in a row, and I must say that my skin looked flawless the next few days. My pores looked smaller, my skin looked clearer than usual, in that I’ll often have one of two small pinkish spots sporadically throughout, and my face felt very elastic. I then read that certain people have had HORRENDOUS reactions when applying it to their face, so I stopped immediately. Most people, however, have the exact opposite to say. The idea is that the coconut oil draws out toxins from your skin for a few days or weeks, and then once it passes, your skin looks great from continuous use. Since toxins are nonsense pseudoscience, though, I think it just takes a bit for the skin of certain people to get used to the extreme moisturizing capabilities within coconut oil. Keep in mind, this is only in relation to use on the face. On the body, it’s perfectly harmless.
overstand, do you shave the area where you get those bumps? Could it be ingrown hairs?

So I’m reading all this and getting really excited because I would love a “nothing short of miraculous on the face” moisturizer. My skin is miserably dry this time of year. But then I remembered where I’m reading and became confused. Plus the mention of “HORRENDOUS reactions.” That isn’t very encouraging.
Big, strong, badass, yet sexy women, particularly northerners…what do you moisturize with?

Yeah, coconut oil on the face seems to really be a mixed bag, so I personally cannot in good conscience recommend it. The biggest gripe I have with it is that it’s supposed to make your face look and feel great for the first few days or weeks, and then all hell breaks loose. This means that you could think you’re in the clear and suddenly wake up with a breakout.
I don’t personally moisturize and never really have, although I like the way I feel when I use Anthony Logistics for Men oil-free moisturizer with SPF 15 built in. Although it’s marketed to men, it would work perfectly fine for women. The same rule applies to women’s products, as I’m sure you know.
Regarding coconut oil specifically, I used it for 2 nights in a row before I went to bed and looked absolutely amazing for the next 3 or 4 days. I really did use a lot of the product, as well, which makes me think that I’m not personally prone to negative reactions from the product. Like I said, I stopped because of the outbreaks I’ve heard some people relate. I didn’t experience this. My mother uses the product on her face in large quantities and has never had issues. In fact, her skin is flawless as well. She’s 45, though, and I don’t think many people that age ever break out. The reviews all over the web seem to express either love or hate (for the face). Just Google “coconut oil for the face” and read whatever you can to make your own decision regarding it.
I must say that the product won’t give you cystic acne or mountainous ranges on your cheeks, so a breakout seems to be worth the risk of seeing if it works for you. Check out these women who have positive things to say about it, and look at their skin:
The second woman is about to turn 40, apparently. It doesn’t seem that way, though.
Many also use the product as a leave-in hair conditioner about once a month, like this girl:
Look at her hair 10 months later:
In the video, she claims to have just stopped using it as a conditioner because her hair stylist claims it can potentially damage finer hair, but I’ve never read anything to support that, and just look at her hair in the second video. Seriously. My hair can get a bit stiff, so I’m thinking about trying it for myself after doing a bit more research.

So in your experience/knowledge is the reaction to using coconut oil strictly acne related, or does it also cause rashes? I think I can handle a severe acne break out for a couple of weeks if it means after that that I will have significantly better skin. But no way in hell would i be able to use it if it gives people rashes n shit.
