Unfortunately, I made a bad decision and popped a pimple on my chin. I thought it was gone, but it has returned. It is oddly the size of a quarter, feels like a bruise and is throbbing. It has no head or identifiable center. Should I be worried? I would go to my dr, but am on vacation.
The most likely diagnosis of the condition is folliculitis which is an infection of the hair follicle.It can be treated with topical antibacterial creams like mupirocin.You must avoid pricking or fiddling with them. A short course of oral antibiotic like azithromycin might also be used after consulting your dermatologist. Regards.
