Hi . I have a pimple on the skin around my nipple , when I squeezed it white pus came out . Its about the size of a pea maybe smaller .it has a slight burning sensation when I touch it but its not causing much pain . Im 16 so And Im on Birth control so usually I get acne like this on my face or legs . I was wondering if I should be worried ?
Hello, from what you have described, it appears as folliculitis. For a single lesion, i wouldnot adv oral antibiotics. So, for this lesion, apply a topical antibiotic like nadibact cream twice daily for 5 days. Don't squeeze the lesion. The lesion should dry in these 5 days, if not, u may need to visit a dermatologist for evaluation. Thanks Take care.
