I've had this bump on my skin for about six months now, and it keeps oozing a semi-solid pus. Should I be worried? Would I need surgery to get rid of it?

View allI'm dealing with a pretty bothersome staph infection on my face in a few spots and I've got some Amoxicillin 500mg at home. I'm a bit worried and really curious if this is the right antibiotic to treat a staph infection. Can Amoxicillin actually help with this?
Amoxicillin is not typically used to treat staph infections. Staphylococcus bacteria can be resistant to Amoxicillin. For staph infections, antibiotics such as Dicloxacillin or Cephalexin are more commonly prescribed. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Which is more effective for acne removal plastic surgery or laser treatment? I've been struggling with acne for a while and want to know the best option for clearer skin
Laser treatments are generally more effective for treating active acne and acne scars than plastic surgery, although both can play a role in a comprehensive treatment plan. Laser treatments can address active acne by reducing inflammation and bacteria, and they can also improve the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen production. Plastic surgery, on the other hand, is more commonly used to improve the appearance of acne scars, particularly severe ones, through procedures like excision or subcision.
