How Can A Pimple On The Cheek Be Treated?

Hello doctor, I got a big pimple type thing on my cheek beside the lip. It s most probably follicuitis, it pained a lot for two days with puss oozing out continuously. Is it appropriate to take novaclox LB for it. In fact, after taking novaclox LB for two days now, I have been feeling relieved. Thanks

Yes novaclox-lb helps as it is an antibiotics suitable for most skin infections.
Please keep the area clean and dry. Use clean cloth or wet cotton to wipe off pus.

-Continue antibiotics for 7 days (thrice a day or more depending on your weight and age).
- use mupirocin ointment over and around the boil twice a day for 10 days. (make sure it doesn't get in your mouth.)
