Hi Doctor.. thank you for your reply.. I don't feel like i had boil ever these are just bulgy kind of pimples and are not painful at all..
i am using Bactroban for these pimples and i feel they are getting less and are better in addition i am also using olive oil which was suggest by my beautician as she says that these pimples usually come after waxing...

Please doctor,can you suggest me something to get rid of the pores on the face..

Hello,
These pimples can be due to folliculitis or boils. Boils are caused by infection of the hair follicle by staph aureus. . Hair follicles that are blocked by greasy creams, petroleum jelly, or similar products are more vulnerable to infection. Bacterial skin infections can be spread by shared cosmetics or washcloths, close human contact, or by contact with pus from a boil or carbuncle. Treatment includes antibiotics and incision and drainage and do not touch or pick them up. Also apply warm compresses on the lumps.
