Suggest Medication For Pimple With Tiny Bumps Around
I used to have a pimple on my upper cheek, but I popped it (washed and all). I can t say how long ago it was, but it seems as if the pimple has been replaced with a bump of sorts. I recently tried to drain it and I discovered that both puss and a clean fluid would come out. And if it helps I wash my face everyday, and I do not shave regularly (but have had ingrown hair elsewhere on my body and face).
As per your case history, you are having folliculitis. My treatment advice is - 1. Don't squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an NSAID like ibuprofen for five to seven days. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like levofloxacin, cefadroxil, and azithromycin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
