Two days after I got home to NC, I had a TRAIL of bumps on my head and bridge of noae. Next day a pack on my nose the looked like necrosis, shaped in a VARIETY about half inch long., and swelling below one eye That was a week ago. Bumps are starting to break open, some puss colored nodules inside. The necrotic skin still unhealed. No more swelling. Any idea what this is?

Hello,

Perhaps it is a sunburn. I suggest you use a topical steroid and antibiotic combination ointment e.g. Fluticasone propionate 0.05% and Mupirocin 2% ointment, twice daily for a week.

Use a sunscreen before going outdoors.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Kakkar S., Dermatologist
