Have A Large Red Bump On The Nose. Skin Is Red And Hurts. Skin Infection Or Abscess?
I have a large red bump on the bridge of my nose that appeared a few days ago. At first I thought it was a pimple under the skin but it's much larger now. About the size of a nickel. The skin is red and it hurts. Do you think it's still a large pimple under the skin or possibly an abscess? It's right where my glasses sit. TIA.
