What Is The Solution For An Enlarged Pore On Face Filled With Pus Got After Childbirth ?

Hello. I am a 29 year old female. Since becoming a mother, my skin has been less than perfect. The pimples, I am not complaining about today. I am complaining about an enlarged pore on my face that continuously fills with pus. It never comes to a head...but once I've gotten tired of looking at it...I can squeeze it and lots and lots of pus will come out. And the pus smells bad. Any clues?

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
From your description, you may be having a cyst called as sebaceous cyst.
It is made up of a cheesy material consisting of dead skin cells which has an offensive odor.
The treatment of sebaceous cyst is surgical excision.
Please consult a dermatosurgeon or a general surgeon for the same.
Left untreated, there is a chance of a secondary bacterial infection which could make it into a boil.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
