Every morning before I apply my makeup, I inspect my skin for signs of fine lines, wrinkles, and breakouts — and the first thing I said today was "uh-oh." I generally have a clear complexion, but today I found myself suffering from a few painful pimples.
Like most pimples, lurkers are caused by a combination of bacteria, clogging from dead cells, and excessive oil production. But what distinguishes them is that they are deep below the skin's surface, extending into the subcutaneous (fatty) layer. This makes them painfully lurk for weeks — even months.
If you don't have time to coddle your blind pimple until it comes out of lurking mode, there is a quick fix! To stop the swelling in one day, have your dermatologist open the cyst with a sterile needle and then inject the inflamed cyst wall with cortisone. That way, the cyst will rapidly shrink and heal.
