Inflammation And Cluster Of Whiteheads After Popping A Small Bump Near Mouth Followed By Little Bleeding. History Of Acne. Help

I'm a white male 6'1" 145 pounds with a history of acne. Earlier today I had a bump on my face close to my mouth or did not itch, hurt or seem cyst like, I attempted to pop what I thought was a pimple but all that came out was blood. Now in the area I have a lot of inflammation and a large cluster of whiteheads. I'm wondering how to treat this outbreak. Thank you for your time please send this to my girlfriends email address, I'm at work. I can provide a photo if necessary for further help in diagnosis and treatment.

Hi,
It seems that you might be having infected acne or some ingrown hair follicle infection giving rise to this problem.
Go for one antibiotic ans anti-inflammatory medicine course after consulting your doctor.
Do not try to break the lump for removal of pus, as it might aggrevate the condition.
Apply antibiotic cream locally after proper cleaning.
Wash your face with branded face wash.
Ok and take care.
