Suggest Treatment For Bumps On The Cheeks

Hi so I had this large bump form on my cheek like 2 weeks ago and assumed that it was a pimple that would eventually go away but it never formed a head and became uncomfortable. I popped which I know probably was a bad idea but it was a bloody white fluid that came out. It s decreased in size but there is a small black mark from it now. What should I do?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bumps on the cheeks which are not pimples, need no to worry it could be due to hormonal changes, stress and change in life style at times. It could be due to clogging of pores of salivary glands. I would suggest you to apply combination of clindamycin gel during day time and Adapalene gel at night time. Application of Topical retinoids will be helpful to you along with topical benzoyl peroxide. Drink plenty of water. Wash your face frequently several times during the day with plain water. Take diet rich in multivitamins. You should take oral antibiotics such as doxycycline, azithromycin or minocycline to prevent further exaggeration.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
I find this answer helpful
