DH had a small reddish bump on his chin last night

tonight it's got redder and bigger - like the 50 Fils coin size, but also has a custard yellow bit in the middle, and a small black dot in the middle of the yellow part

How can you diagnose something without even seeing it or knowing the person's medical history ? OP - tell him to go to at least a pharmacist if he doesn't want to bother a doctor - don't rely on replies on a forum from ppl who may or may not have any medical experience lol hang on, another lady was asking questions about a garguntuan cyst on here the other day, and I never saw her being lamb basted I'm not lambasting anyone - I just think that if you are sufficiently worried about something, then you should get proper medical advice... DH is OK btw. Presently tucking into full Irish Fry it was sacrey for a couple of days

I had a similar bump a few years ago on my arm that became huge as well. Went to my doc and it turned out to be a spider bite. Just let the doctor have a look, it may be that he needs some antihistamine to deal with an allergic reaction to the venom.

It's a blummin' zit! Surely. And if he/she were really worried about it, they wouldn't be asking on here, they'd be down to A&E. Spot on Jansul!

Put a huge blob of bactroban ointment on it and a plaster, and leave it for 6 hours, it will all come out.

It might be an ingrown hair if it's on his chin. Put a hot flannel on it and then give it a good old squeeze.

It might be an insect bite - rather have it checked out by a doctor.
