I've been noticing these things on my face that aren't exactly pimples, but they've got this white pus under the skin, kind of scattered everywhere. And if I press on them, the pus just comes out. I'm really puzzled about what's going on with my skin and was wondering if there's anything I can apply or do to help improve its condition?

Could be a sign of a skin condition called milia. To improve your skin quality, you can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Retin-A (tretinoin) to help exfoliate the skin and prevent further buildup of dead skin cells. Additionally, using a gentle exfoliating scrub containing salicylic acid can help unclog pores and improve skin texture. Make sure to follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. Remember to start with a small amount of the products to avoid irritation, and gradually increase as tolerated.
