I've got a bump that just popped up on the side of my nose out of nowhere, and it's been hanging around for two weeks. Whenever I try to mess with it, I get this white pus along with some blood from the pores. My skin is super oily and I do get these acne bumps sometimes. I'm wondering what might be going on and how I can get rid of it. Any thoughts?

The sudden bump on your nose could be a:

  1. Sebaceous cyst
  2. Pimple or acne cyst
  3. Ingrown hair

To get rid of the bump:

Self-Care

  1. Stop picking: Avoid squeezing or picking the bump to prevent further inflammation and scarring.
  2. Warm compresses: Apply a warm, damp washcloth to the area for 5-7 minutes, 2-3 times a day.
  3. Keep the area clean: Gently wash your face with a mild cleanser, avoiding harsh products.

Topical Treatments

  1. Benzoyl peroxide: Apply a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide cream or gel to the affected area.
  2. Tea tree oil: Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with a carrier oil (coconut or olive oil) and apply it to the bump.

Professional Help

If the bump persists, worsens, or becomes severely inflamed, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

In the meantime, consider:

  1. Oily skin management: Use oil-free products, and consider a clay-based mask to control oil production.
  2. Acne treatment: If you're prone to acne, consider consulting a dermatologist for a personalized treatment plan.

I got my nose pierced in February, and now it's March, but my piercing isn't healing well. There's red skin around it, and sometimes a little pus comes out. There's no pain, but there's a small bump, and it just won't heal. I've tried some antibiotics, but nothing's changed. My wedding is coming up soon, and I'm really worried about this. Do you have any advice or solutions for how I can get it to heal faster?
