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.

I've been dealing with this pimple on my face and decided to try betamethasone ointment on it. After I washed my face, I noticed that the area where I applied it looked lighter. I'm not sure if that's a good sign or if I should be concerned. Could this be a side effect or does it mean the ointment is working?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
