I'm no doctor, but to me it really looks like acne. at first you were saying that you had orange pus which made me :wtf: but I do remember back in my middle school days I had pretty bad acne and the scabs at times looked a lot like that.
I also remember whenever I had acne on my forehead and jaw bone it tended to be more big lumps similar to what you have, usually never even getting a whitehead.
are you forcing them to pop? |

Last time I went to the ER because I had this debilitation rash and was experiencing sharp neural pain, they misdiagnosed me with Herpes. Having the hunch that they were impetuous, I went to a cranky old meticulous Jewish Russian doctor who properly diagnosed me with shingles (yes, even more bizarre, but true story).
In the end, I realize a professional is not necessarily correct. :( |
Same thing happened to me twice. But you said you went to a dermatologist, so I assume they know their area of expertise. |

| Experts don't always know what the they're talking about. That's why the second opinion exists. I can't tell you how many times I've heard about doctors and missing things/misdiagnosing things, etc. |

True that. My earlier condition for which I was operated in february, has sprung back up to life. According to a doctor it was just a flesh-wound. According to surgeon #1 it was liquid and according to surgeon #2 it wasn't liquid.
anyway, i might be dead in two months so, ill see how it goes. |

to relate to what jenny said:
my friend actually had surgery on his shoulder (he's a drummer) before moving to california, he had another problem this year, he pulled something. went to an expert here, doctor said he couldn't find anything wrong but there obviously is as it's really bothering my friend. he had to go back to new hampshire for open surgery for them to inspect it. most of them seem reall really stupid at times |

| I also have my little conspiracy theory that there's doctors out there that just try and milk you out as much as they can. like in benson's case to just issue a antibiotic knowingly that it won't work, and say "alright here you go, hopefully this works, come back in 3 weeks so we can see how it's doing." |

| It happens all the time. A resident where I work fell and fractured her hip. But the first doctor who looked at her somehow missed it on the ing xray. It wasn't until we had to send her back again that someone else caught it. Like wtf. |
