How Can I Get Rid Of Bumps With Stringy Pus On Cheeks?
I have never had acne but within the last year I have gotten it but mostly only my cheeks, it s gotten a lot better but my most of the bumps are very small and when I squeeze them( which I know i shouldn t do!) white stringy pus comes out and it s always there! What is it? And how can I get rid of it? Thank you
As per your query you have pus filled pimples on your cheeks . This is very common problem . Th common reasons for pimples are stress , hormonal changes , oily skin and excessive sun exposure . The pores of sebaceous glands become blocked , dead skin and bacteria get entrapped in then and case infection and pus formation. I would suggest you to wash your face with cold water and mild soap or facewash containing benzoyl peroxide twice a days and apply azelaic acid cream after washing face . Also apply vitamin C serum at night . If condition doesn't improve in a week or two then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe steroid ointment along with antibiotics like minocyclin or clindamycin .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
