Please Suggest A Cure For Pimples On The Upper Lip
for a month or so i have had blackhead like pimples on my upper lip line. i know i get pimples because i have a problem with bitting my nails and inside cheeks. but one has been painful and swollen. the others are hard little dots, this one is risen and looks like a bee stung me there. will this dissapear or should i try removing it. i have squeezed it after a shower but i made it angry. i could not break it through skin but i can see the white puss like stuff underneth. im worried that if i do pop it my lip may get worse. i feel like i got hit on the lip. thank you for your bussy time, miss wallace.

Hi, miss walace..
You seem to have comedonal acne on upper lip that might be infected due to bad habit of squeezing the lesion. You seem to have mental upsets,as there is habit of nail and cheek biting. There may be anxiety related problem. I would like to advise you to become calm and cool. Have faith and be positive. Never rupture the lesion anywhere on skin. The lesion on upper lip may be simple acne and may be treated with oral antibiotics like azithromycine and topical clindamycine gel. You may take anxiolytic drug like fluoxetin 10 mg daily to reduce anxiety. I hope you would be benefitted.
Thanks.
