I've got this bump that started off small, but after I accidentally scratched it, it got bigger. It's pretty red around the edges and really hurts when I touch it. I noticed there's some pus inside. Is it better to wait until the pus grows more before trying to squeeze it out? Then maybe take some antibiotics? I really want to get rid of this from the root, and I heard draining the pus is important. What should I do?

Yes it has to be drained out,do not squeeze it by yourself, visit surgeon for appropriate treatment

I'm using DermaDew Bact soap to help with my acne. I'm wondering if using it might somehow slow down or interfere with my beard growth. Is that something I should be concerned about, or is it generally safe to use without affecting facial hair development?
DermaDew Bact soap is an antibacterial soap used to control acne. _Impact on Beard Growth_ 1. _No direct effect_: DermaDew Bact soap is unlikely to directly inhibit beard growth. 2. _Indirect effect_: The soap's antibacterial properties might reduce inflammation and prevent ingrown hairs, potentially promoting a healthier beard growth environment. _Key Ingredients_ 1. _Benzoyl peroxide_ (2.5%): Antibacterial agent that reduces acne-causing bacteria. 2. _Triclosan_: Antibacterial agent that helps control bacterial growth. _Precautions_ 1. _Use as directed_: Follow the product instructions for use. 2. _Avoid overuse_: Excessive use can lead to dryness and irritation. 3. _Patch test_: Perform a patch test before using the soap on your face or beard area.

I've been dealing with this issue where the skin on my lower lip tends to harden and then get really dry. I always end up peeling it off, but then the whole cycle just starts over again. It's pretty frustrating. What could be causing this, and how can I stop it from happening?
That could be due to Dehydration or lack of moist or vitamin deficiency,stay hydrated and consume balanced diet, that would solve your problem,you also use lip balm for additional care
