omg boils!
14/f
i am FREAKING out like i have never freaked out before. about 2 days ago, i noticed a lump on my head. it looked very much like a masquito bite but i knew it wasnt, i just thought it was probly just a big pimple.. so i put alcohol on my face like i always do to treat my pimples. and i tried to squeese the puss out of it.. a little little tiny bit of puss came out but mostly just the clear liquid stuff that sometimes comes out of pimples.. so, i just kept squeezing it to drain all that stuff out to hopefully make it smaller. well, it worked but now it looks like a huge cut on my head..
the next day, i noticed another masquito bite looking thing on my chin! i started flipping out because i am starting school in FOUR days. ! worst of all, we take pictures on the first day of school!! =( so i told my mom and told her that the thing on my head started out the same way the thing on my chin is starting. she looked at it and said its probably a boil.
i had absolutly NO idea what a boil is and had never heard of one, but i knew it didnt sound good. i started balling my eyes out because i was stressed out enough as it is for school to be starting.
even though my mom told me to leave it alone, i was determined to get rid of it.. so i just started squeezing it like i did to the other one.. it was harder to get the stuff out, and no puss came out so i was just like w/e ill deal w/ it tomorrow.
so now today, it has gotten bigger, and has created more stress to my list.. i looked up "how to get rid of boils quick" on google. there were millions of remedys and treatments and i also learned all about themm.. i learned that they are supposed to be very very painfull, wich it is, but only if i touch it, and is supposed to feel like a biglump and is red wich is true, and also it supposed to start out looking like a mosquito bite which it did. learning about them only made me more stressed and now i dont know what to do. the puss doesnt want to come out.. its like theres a big ball of it stuck far underneath my skin. i just keep putting alcohol on it hoping it will get better but it doesnt.. i know my mom wont take me to the doctors, she doesnt think its serious and doesnt listen to anything isay, even though from reading about it... i should go to the doctors.. i can worry about the doctors after school starts but for now, what can i do to make this thing go away within 3 days before i have to take school pics and show up my first day with a big lump on my chin?? and also, do you really think its a boil?? its not very red, just a huge lump and is only painful when you touch it.. but if its not a boil, how can i get rid of it and what is it???
thank you!

it should be a boil.
just try to leave it alone okay? i know its like super hard but you really should.
i had a couple before..but not on my face. i know it may make you feel horrible and hurt like hell but the best thing for you to do is just wait ... if you wait soon the pus will be able to come out and you can squeeze it out or like put a pin through it when you feel its about to blow! lol sometimes mine come back though...you just have to keep draining it until its history.

It sounds like a boil to me, and I'm not sure how to treat, but don't squeeze it until the clear stuff comes out, because that is basically your skin, with skin cells.
