I had a large lump growing on my forehead under the skin, it was quite noticeable and painful to wear my motorcycle helmet, but when there was no pressure applied it was fine.
She poked it with a finger and told me it was a pimple and to get some vitamin E oil to apply to it, and it would go down in a couple of days. I wasn’t happy with that as I was sure it wasn’t a pimple. I’m in my 40’s and know what pimples look like. She did actually give me a referral to a Dermatologistc convinced they would tell me the same. The Dermatologist told me it’s not a pimple, it was most likely a lipoma. (Tissue growth on the skull)
That was confirmed by a walk in clinic and I got a referral to a plastic surgeon who agreed, and with a short procedure with local anaesthetic, it was cut off of my skull.
Definitely not a pimple.
