What Causes Puss Filled Whiteheads On Nose And Forehead After Being Sunburnt?
I burnt myself yesterday on my nose and forehead. Last night I put moisturiser & Vaseline on my nose to keep moisture and woke up this morning with a white head and clear/yellow pus? Is this from sunburn or Vaseline getting in pores? I have smoothered face now in aftersun containing aloe Vera. So worried I am going to get skin cancer :( what signs do I look out for?

Hi,
Don't worry you are not going to get any cancer. These puss filled whiteheads on nose and forehead are nothing but Acne. Use antiseptic cream like soframycine daily 3 times a day. You can take oral course of amoxicillin antibiotic for 7 days. Wash your face with alovera face wash daily at bed time. Work with your primary care doctor to achieve these.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
