Bump on chest… Acne?
I have had a bump on my chest for the last 2 months now. Recently it has grown. I think it is acne of some sort... I have tried many medications to help it, nothing seems to work. I have tried typical acne soap, regular hand soap, benzoyle peroxide, hydrocortisone cream, wart remover... nothing helps! It is driving me crazy I want to rip it off. When squeezed, green stuff comes out from 2 differnet spots. I know thats gross but I need help. Should I try hydrogen peroxide?

The bump is hard, looks like two pimples in one... Feels waxy, and skin on top is dry and very red. Its about 5/8 inch wide, half inch height

Yes you can try the hydrogen peroxide, but since it’s been there for 2 months, maybe you should consider going to a doctor and having them look at it. You don’t want to mess with stuff like that and end up with a possible staph infection. They are nasty.
With the green discharge coming from it, to me that would indicate infection.
So I would get on the phone and make that appointment. You may not have insurance, and you may have to pay for it out of your pocket, but some of the alternatives are worse than $150 to make sure you’re okay.
Good luck.

you say green stuff comes out…i think you should see a doctor for this, if it was acne or a bug bite, white stuff should come out not green.

In this case, using hydrogen peroxide isn’t going to help. Most likely you need to consult to your doctor ASAP because theres a slight possibility that you have an infection. Therefore, its most likely not acne; and its really important that you go see your doctor.
Lately on the news I saw a report that had a person that had green puss going out of their bump and they said to watch for that type of symptom because its a serious infection that started going around.
