Big red bump
Right smack in between my eyes is this big bump!! It's not a pimple because I can see that it doesn't have pus in it. Its only red because I have been picking at which I have agreed to stop doing. I'm putting medicine on it and nothing is working!! I talked to my mom and asked her to take me to a derm but she thinks its just a big pimple! I read somewhere that it could be mila. If it is how can you get rid of them without going to a derm???

I completely foget what they're called... but try to follow me. Is it just a raised bump on your face, the same color as your skin (no red, whitehead, blackhead)? If so than it's a [insert correct word here]. It's basically a collection of dead skin cells on your face. There's not much you alone can really do about it, but if you go to the dermo I think they can give you medications/get it off. In the meanwhile, exfoliate your face weekly. It should help the dead skin layers to be removed from your face.
I'm sorry if I'm not really helping. I tried.

It might be a boil. Just DON'T touch it, seriously. Like that's the worst thing you could ever do.
Because boils are contagious, touching the skin after handling a boil or improperly treating a boil can cause spreading to other areas of skin. Multiple boils which appear on the skin as clusters of raw, red, irritated skin are called "carbuncles." These types of boils form small tunnels underneath the skin and are best treated by a physician.
Okay well ways that you can treat it, are:
Small boils will often heal themselves within 10-15 days, if no other infection or illness is present in the body. However, many boils do require treatment. Boils can usually safely be treated at home. Remember, if a boil fails to respond to treatment or symptoms become increasingly worse, you should seek your doctor's attention.
PREVENT spreading boils to other areas of your body by using fresh towels or disposable paper towels with each treatment and washing. Also, wash hands immediately after touching the boil. Cross-contamination is often worse than the original boil.
TAKE hot showers at least twice daily, instead of baths. The added heat and moisture will help the boil to open and drain on its own. Baths tend to spread bacteria to other areas of skin.
APPLY warm water heat to the boil using warm or heated cloths or a hot water bottle. This can be done 3-4 times daily for up to 20-minutes at a time.
