How Can Face Swelling With Pus Caused By Pimple Popping Be Treated?
Ok, i am 27 years old, a woman, i get pimples, but i would not say i have acne, mild at best, i noticed a tiny bump in my chin, jawline, cheek area, i popped it and it was a typical white wormy pimple, washed my face before and after, put zit cream on it and went to bed, woke up with that side of my face swollen, about 2 inches around the pimple i had popped when i woke up, its day 2 now, i tried popping it and it only has a clear seepage, no "head" and it seems to be coming from more that one area when i squeeze it, it hurts b/c of the swelling, i have only squeezed it once or twice, i have been suing pimple cream, warm compress, and icing it. its not getting better and it looks hideous, please someone help!!

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your have face swelling with pus caused by pimple popping which is due to clogged pores of sebaceous gland which gets filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply cream containing Kojic acid such as Kojivit. Apply on face twice daily. It will lighten scars on skin. Use medicated sunscreen such as Tancare rich in SPF 30. apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil to lighten the pigments. Apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day as this is safe and natural extract of cereals. You can visit dermatologist once and can go for chemical peeling or micro abrasion if your symptoms not resolving. Take supplements rich in vitamin C.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
