Suggest Treatment For Small Painful Bumps On The Face

Hello, I have had what seems like a rash on my face for a few months now. I have good eating habits and drink plenty of water. This week I started drinking Benadryl without any results. They appear to be pimples except they are just bumps, not red or pink. I have never had that issue or acne or pimples, except if I get a random one.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of small painful bumps on the face which could be due to hormonal changes, stress and change in lifestyle at times. It could be due to clogged pores of skin with dead and decaying bacteria. Need not to worry. 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. You should take oral antibiotics such as doxycycline, azithromycin or minocycline to prevent further exaggeration. Drink plenty of water. Wash your face frequently several times during the day with plain water. Take diet rich in multivitamins.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
