Suggest Treatment For Pimple With Pus

hello. I woke up with a slight pimple under my right eyebrow above my eye on Friday. I squeezed it and thought that was it. But the following day it was slightly larger and just clearish pus was coming out. I thought maybe there was a hair or something but still nothing really happened and I didn t see one. Sunday it was the same thing but it was slightly swollen a little more. So. Monday morning it was extremely swollen makes my eye look as if it is closed. It hurts too much to try and squeeze it and see if there s anything in there. Its slightly hard and hurts terribly. What could is possibly be? Friday it looked like a normal little dot pimple. I get those every now and then but it has never lead to this. I also wondered if this had any connection with a bump I have in a rather unnameable area that , even once I clean it of the pus, hasmore a few hours later or the next day? It also hurts tterribly bad and makes sitting slightly uncomfortable. Anything you could say to help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Dermatologist 's  Response
hi
You seem to have developed cystic acne.
Before coming to the exact treatment, I would like you to follow certain precautions:
1. Avoid using any oily creams or lotions over face as much as possible. you can however use oil free moisturizers
2. Wash your face frequently in order to keep it dry
3. Drink plenty of water
4. Try to avoid eating dry fruits
5.Avoid touching or squeezing of pimples
6. Avoid Hair oil      
7. Always use a sunscreen (SPF> 26) when going out in the sun

Now as far as your condition is concerned, I would advise you might need to apply some antiacne medications like Clindamycin gel over the affected area.
You might need a systemic agent also to control acne ,so if the above medicines do not help you much, then see a dermatologist for the same.
For acne cysts also , there are various treatment options available like intralesional steroids,cryotherapy etc which your dermatologist can decide upon

Hope it helps
