Help! Strange spots on the face?

stephanie_dee24 asked:


Hi!

I am 18 years old, and I a few spots (not really acne) on my face (i tend to pick the few spots that I get which makes my face a total mess). I have greasy skin and very open pores, not nice.

I have these little lumps under my skin all over my face, not traditional “spots” or “blemishes”. If I don’t pick them then they just stay there, they don’t get bigger or smaller and no matter what I do they won’t go away. I wouldn’t mind, but they are quite noticeable, esp over my forehead, my skin is bumpy and uneven, even with makeup on.

When I squeeze them, normal “spot pus” doesn’t come out, its usually a long string of white, hard pus that looks like toothpaste (sorry for the description guys!) They are nasty, I have tried EVERYTHING to get rid of them, but they are obviously not normal spots. I’ve been to the GP but he didn’t really listen.

Does anyone have anything similar, or know what they could be and how to get rid of them? Thank you so much in advance!
Just to let you know, I have a set cleansing and toning regieme, its not as if I don’t look after my skin! I am just at my wits end!
Another note, they are not whiteheads. They aren’t any colour, like I said, just lumps. But you can see the lumps under the skin… its really strange
