Suggest Treatment For Pimples Under The Skin
I have what looks like a pimple under the skin. It s hard, the areas red, it hurts but does not come to a head. I ve proceeded to squeeze it because it hurts and it doesn t pop, so I stuck a clean needle in it to drain it, but instead of draining, it bleeds then appears to be a hole with pus that doesn t want to come out. What is this and what s causing it? And what will make it go away.?.

Hi,
To prevent acne and reduce its damage to your skin, follow these tips. Choose a cleanser specially formulated for acne.
These products often contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, which help to clear acne sores. Clean your face gently, as trauma to the acne breakouts may worsen the acne or cause scarring.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
