Suggest Treatment For Pimple-like Bumps On The Cheeks

I have large bumps under the skin, two, one on each cheek. I thought they were large pimples, so I waited to see a head before taking care of them .. Nothing happened, except now they are huge and are starting to hurt when I rest my head on my hand/lay down. I ve tried every Google remedy, steam treatments, salicylic acid facial cleansers, rubbing alcohol...all to no avail. I just had my second child in January of this year, perhaps that, accompanied by my use of Mirena, has sent my skin going all sorts of crazy. Please help!! -J

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, your skin lesions are mostly due to hormonal imbalance.
You had recent child birth and using Mirena (hormonal IUD), so possibility of hormonal imbalance is more.
And hormonal imbalance is likely to cause skin lesion ke Pimples, rashes, boils etc.
So better to consult doctor and get done hormone levels to rule out hormonal imbalance.
You will need hormone pills to regulate hormones.
Once your hormones are normalize, your skin lesions will subside.
Also avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated. Avoid excessive sun exposure.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
