Suggest Treatment For Zit On The Temple
I have what seems to be a under the skin zit on my temple but it s not painful and it kind of moves around as one mass if I push it with my fingers. And I ve had it for a couple weeks or so now which is much longer than it usually stays around as I generally only experience a single pimple occasionally that goes away within a week or so at most. Should I wait another week, see a doctor, or any otc treatments I could try?

Hello,
Acne or pimple on the temple is commonly due to irritation of the skin, the trapped sweat or oil can trigger the formation of acne or pimple. Acne and pimples get triggered when pores, or hair follicles, get clogged. It may take time to heal. You should take steam on the face to help the pores open up. Apply ice to close the pores. Apply turmeric face packs twice daily.
You should take regular bath, shampoo hair regularly with selsun shampoo or any anti dandruff shampoo. Take vegetarian food over non vegetarian food. Diet matters. Take plenty of water, avoid stress. You can apply Betnovate C ointment on the area affected, so that it gets treated faster. You can consult a dermatologist, you can take laser treatment if needed for permanent scar free treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
