Hot water compresses to soften it up first. Do this a few times and see if it'll squeeze out. The neck area is tough because you've got nothing to push against. If it's not gonna squeeze out easilly, steralize a needle, poke a little hole in the center, then squeeze. I went to a skin care specialist and this is what they did. Don't get the needle in far or else you'll poke through the little ball of infection that was left there...instead you want to just make a little opening in the skin to push the entire ball out.
I got some prescription pills for it, something like Domexoy something, not quite sure, but you are supposed to take it for around 1 month and notice decent results. But again any pimples I get are from increased Testosterone, and I dont even use anything illegal, just ZMA.
But the doc said that it had raised my test levels, and thus I was getting breakouts on my stomach and back.

Slugfast...those pills...are they antibiotics? If so, they'll help slow down new acne growth.
I developed some "adult acne" about 2 yrs. ago around my jaw line, a year ago I got fed up with OTC products not helping so I went to the doc. I was given an antibiotic to be used for a month, then off for a few weeks and repeated as necessary along with Retin-A Micro cream. It's helped a lot!
Although people suggest using antibacterial soaps to help prevent breakouts, the skin specialist I went to says that's a bad idea because those soaps also kill the good bacteria that fight the bad. I have oily skin and he also said that overwashing will intensify breakouts and suggests washing only morning and night. I usually wash morning, after coming home from work or the gym with a mild bar soap like Dove or Carress, then I use an acne wash before going to sleep along with the Retin-A morning and night.
