Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
sometime after i turn 40 in january i started getting what i thought is servere acne. i get pimple or sores on my skin that discharge a almost clear substance that sometimes leaves a sticky residue on my skin. lately the sores (or one in perticular) has gotten big and hardened with scabing. the discharge burns my skin
As per your history you can apply clindamycin or hydrocortisone ointment locally. Wash your face using antimicrobial soap. Keep it dry and avoid harsh chemicals on skin. If you do not get relief then i will advise you to consult a dermatologist. He may procure complete hemogram and some other blood investigations. Till then keep your self hydrated. Eat healthy diet. Avoid oily and junk foods. Do regular exercise.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
