I've had a pimple near my eye for the past couple of days, and there's another one on my scalp. It's causing pain in my right eye, and there's some swelling at the bottom of it. Should I be concerned about this? What might be causing it, and is there anything I can do to relieve the symptoms?

Question

I've noticed these black marks on my nose that have been sticking around for about a month now. Could you recommend any creams or treatments that might help get rid of them?
