What Do Grey Pimples On Cheek Indicate?

Hi, I suddenly developed two grey pimples (or bumps) on my right cheek during overnight. It is not hard nor painful but have diameter around 2mm with grey colour. I wasn t on any medication for the past month. The only difference might be harshly cold weather yesterday so my hands and face was very red.

Hi Dear ,

As per you query you have grey pimples on your cheek . Well there can be many reasons for pimples on cheek like malnutrition , oily skin , gastric problem , hormonal imbalance and some underlying cause like lung disease ( very rare ) .

Also apply vitamin C serum at night before going to bed , Prevent your skin from direct sun exposure . If condition doesn't get improve in month then consult dermatologist for proper checkup . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like minocyclin and steroid ointment .
