What Causes Smelly Pimples?
My son is 13 and he is getting a lot of pimples on his face and blackheads. I tried popping some and noticed that some of them have this smell. Should I just leave them or do i need to treat it somehow. What should I do? I don't want him to have scars later on . His face is very oily. Please advise.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might have developed sebaceous cyst.
It is a collection of dead material under the skin.
When you press this material comes out as black debris.
Dont worry its not a dangerous condition.
Treatment is mainly surgical.
It can be removed with the wall of the cyst, through a small incision.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
