Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you painful pimple with white head below my nose which could be due to deficiency of vitamin B12, folic acid, continuous irritation and due to allergic reaction to dust. Need not to worry. I would suggest you not to scratch the scab from the pimple. You should apply clindamycin ointment. You should apply epiduo cream in night keep it for an hour and wash your face. You should apply apply suncote gel as well. Avoid acidic foods such as citrus fruits or spicy foods that may aggravate symptoms. Start taking multivitamin supplement for few days. If condition doesn't improve in 4-5 days then consult oral pathologist for proper diagnosis and start treatment accordingly. Doctor may prescribe anti inflammatory drugs , antibiotics or steroid ointments .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
