I'm 31 and recently started getting pimples on my face that come and go. They pop up on my nose and cheeks mainly, and they're kind of white. If I press them, a liquid comes out, and they usually disappear after about three days. I've never really used soap on my face, and I don't engage in activities like watching porn or masturbating every day. I'm just wondering why this is happening at my age. Can you help me figure it out?

Possible Causes of Pimples
- Hormonal fluctuations: Changes in hormone levels, even in adulthood, can lead to acne.
- Stress: Stress can increase cortisol levels, contributing to acne.
- Diet: Consuming dairy products, refined carbohydrates, or foods high in sugar can trigger acne.
- Genetics: Family history can play a role in acne development.
- Environmental factors: Exposure to pollution, humidity, or certain chemicals can contribute to acne.
White Pimples with Liquid Discharge
The pimples you described, with a white color and liquid discharge, might be:
- Pustules: A type of acne lesion filled with pus.
- Milia: Small, white bumps caused by keratin buildup.
- Sebaceous filaments: Naturally occurring, small bumps on the nose and cheeks.
Next Steps
- Consult a dermatologist: For personalized guidance and treatment.
- Maintain good skincare habits: Cleanse your face gently with a non-comedogenic cleanser, and moisturize regularly.
- Avoid picking or squeezing pimples: To prevent further inflammation and scarring.
- Consider lifestyle changes: Reduce stress, eat a balanced diet, and stay hydrated.

I've been dealing with a persistent fungal infection for the past three months and nothing seems to work. I've tried loads of medicines, Patanjali products, Candid dusting powder, and even coconut oil, plus all sorts of advice from different people. Sometimes it clears up a bit, but then the itching and growth come back. I'm really at my wit's end with this. I went to see a skin specialist too, but the meds haven't helped at all in the last two months. Can you offer some advice or alternatives I can try? Its getting really frustrating.
Try a combination therapy of oral antifungal medication along with topical antifungal cream. You can start by taking Tab Terbinafine 250mg once daily for 4-6 weeks along with applying Clotrimazole cream twice daily on the affected area. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If there is no improvement or if the infection worsens, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
