hey guys! So i had this pimple looking thing on my chin in feburary.Ive gotten cases before where i had things that were pimple liek and ended up being an infection under the skin.Well,it popped in the end of feburary and now its been nothing but a red spot on my chin like something is gonan come up but nothing is.My mom things its scar tissue and something bite me there and its gonna stay like that.I told her i wanted to go to the dermotologist and have them check it out but she said insurance isnt gonna cover it and its gonna be alot of money.So its upsetting me i dont like my face enough as it is because i have alot of sun spots on them that my mom wont have bleached.So my questions are if anyone knows what it could be and is there anyway to lighten it up or have it go away altogether? Please dont say covering it up with make up though,ive been doing that thanks.Oh and sorry if it was a bit disgusting to read hope you guys can help! :)

First off, I have a license in cosmetology. Second, if money is an issue, I would look around for other options... Examples:
Technical Institutes/hair academies: Have any high schools around the area? Licensed cosmetologist have to know the ins and outs of skin. They do facials, and are bombarded with different issues that the skin endures. If you find a local school, go in, request a facial, and while you're there as the teacher her personal opinion. Explain your financial situation to her.
Nurse: School, college, work.. wherever you are, see if there's a nurse that you can speak to. I'm sure they'd be willing to suggest different possibilities to you, without requiring pay.
Either way, if someone who has experience with facial disproportions, can take a look and identify what's going on. When you get a possible diagnosis, tell your mom. Explain to her what you learned from professional opinions, and that even if it means you'll pay the money back someday, you're willing to do it.
As for what I can help you with here.. it definitely sounds like scar tissue. Unfortunately, I can't say more then that without further physical description, or photos. If you can get back to me, responding with as much description as possible, I can read into this further.. and help you out as much as I can without seeing it for myself. I'd like to help you with this, so please take some time to write out a detailed explanation of this red spot. Shape/size/what it feels like/if it's flat, surfacing out.. anything you can say!
