I've been dealing with these pus-filled bumps on my upper lip for the past two years. They just keep getting bigger, even when I pop them. They don't look like cold sores or regular pimples, but some do have blackheads. It's concerning because they never go away. What can I do to get rid of them permanently?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a condition called recurrent folliculitis. To treat this, you can try using a topical antibiotic cream like Mupirocin twice daily on the affected areas. In addition, an oral antibiotic like Doxycycline can be prescribed to help clear up the infection. It's important to maintain good hygiene, avoid picking or popping the bumps, and follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
