How To Cure Pimples On Face Caused Due To Hair Removal?
Hi. Every 4 months I have one...and I mean one..facial black hair that needs to be plucked. When I pluck it, I do see the root. I have done this for several years. My last plucking, I believe within a few days afterwards, I have a white, large, puss filled pimple occur. This is consistent in the same spot (I think), yet haven t monitored occurrence every time I yank one. This is just a thought. Is it possible that my plucking can be the cause of this recurring pimple? I do have rosacea and use Neutrogena Naturals as a cleanser, Metrogel 1 time a day and Finecea 1 time a day. I don t use make-up unless I absolutely have to...maybe once every 3 months and have checked out my brands of make up with my dermatologist which is fine with her. I never aggravate any of my rosacea pimples/postules/outbreaks. I just let them do their own thing and hope for help. Never did I think I would every be fighting to retain self diginity.

Hi,
I can understand your concern for pimples on face caused due to hair removal.
In my view correlating with the facts you have provided it appears to be allergic dermatitis of the area due to plucking of hair.
I suggest you to meet a dermatologist to for proper therapy. In between you should avoid exposure of sun light to the area properly. If I were your dermatologist then presumptively would have preferred to apply fluticasone with mupirocin cream. You can take an antihistamine such as loratadine for twice a day if itching is present.
Do not try to pinch, pop or squeeze the area as it may cause secondary infection of the area.
All the best
