How To Get Rid Of The Swelling Around The Pimple?
Hi, the other day i felt a pimple coming. Yesterday it formed and i thought it was ready to pop being that every time i touched it it hurt a lot, so i popped it. Once i popped it it became a scab but it was super red and now the area around it and under the scab is swollen and i'm not sure what to do.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The pimple has to ripe before it is popped, so by the time you have popped it is not ripe, hence it has infected, and became pain full.
I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my with the same symptoms erythromycin 500mg, serratiopeptidase, and diclophenac sodium.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to hasten the recovery.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

Hi,
Acne vulgaris you may be having may be complicated with secondary bacterial infection. There may be inflammatory acne lesions.Oral antibiotics for two weeks with anti inflammatory drugs may be taken to reduce the inflammation. After clearance of infection, take minocycline cap 50mg daily for long time. Apply clindamycine gel at night. Cleanse the face with antiseptic face wash. Avoid stress and worries. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks
