Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have adore on my cheek. I thought it was a pimple but it was a bunch of little pimples. It is swollen a bit and seems to be spreading. It has puss but just oozes when i squeeze it. It feels hard and the skin comes off when I touch it. My son has had some on his neck, face and arms.
You use antibiotic creams especially clindamycin or neomycin creams are the best to use for face and neck and arms. Apply it daily leave it for 30 to 45 minutes and then wash off. You can just apply morning and leave.
Use sunscreen before going out. Wash face often and do not allow oil to set and pimple forms there. Maintain hygiene. Cut your nails and never allow anyone or you to touch your face often which can cause infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Archana
