Question 1

I've had this pimple on my cheek for a few days, and now the area around it, like an inch or so, is swollen, red, and a bit painful. Could you tell me what might be going on and any recommendations for treatment?

Accepted Answer

The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated
