What Are The Bumps On Face Draining Water And Discharging Yellow Green Scab.

Hi, just recently I have been getting bumps on my face that drain a watery discharge when my face is washed. After it discharges a yellow-green scab appears and every day it discharges. These are mostly on my chin, but I have gotten them on my nose and forehead before. It does not look like a pimple when it starts, looks more like a hive.

Hi,

It may be cystic acne. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to take minocycline 50 mg cap and isotretinoin 5 mg tab daily for few months. Apply clindamycine gel on the lesions. Cleanse the face with cetaphil solution.

Hope this helps.
