I've been dealing with this stubborn acne on the back of my head for a while now. I tried taking Cifran for a month and then switched to Droxyl, using beta gel at the same time, but nothing seems to be working. The acne is even spreading to my forehead, and my skin is turning red. What could be going wrong, and what should I do next?

I have this 12 inch bump on my nose that just won't go away. I usually don't have acne-prone skin, but my nose pores tend to get clogged and form these flesh-tone bumps. Normally they're not a big deal, but one of them turned into this huge red bump that's really painful. It started with a lot of pain and now it's just a bump with blood and some clear fluid, but no pus. I've tried everything I can think of and it's still there. Any ideas on what this could be or how I can make it go away?

Sounds like you may be dealing with a stubborn cyst or abscess on your nose. In such cases, a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin can help prevent infection and promote healing. You can apply it to the affected area twice a day. Additionally, warm compresses can help reduce inflammation and promote drainage. If the bump does not improve or if you develop fever or worsening pain, it's important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and possible drainage.
