Hello,
You can use the antibacterial face wash and tetracycline antibiotics.But if the symptoms persist then pls get it reviewed by your dermatologist.Without examination it is very difficult confirming a diagnosis.
I hope that helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.Kind regards.
Thanks for your help, :)
You know, it usually happens after I shave and my beard starts growing. I used the La-Roche antibacterial face wash earlier today and when I dried my face, I noticed it leaked out some pus, I wiped it with a paper towel. Now it looks like a part of it dried out but there's these two really tiny whiteheads next to it but now I don't really feel it. Now I have this other whitehead on the bottom corner of my lip that's on the lip line. I haven't squeezed it or anything but I'm guessing the face wash is doing something to it. I'd upload a pic but I can't find a section to do it in here. I am taking tetracycline, will that help or should I use something different for infected hair follicles?
Hello,
From the symptoms it looks like an infected hair follicle. Pls keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove.Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful.In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed.Pls consult a dermatologist in that case.
I hope that helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
Ok I looked at it again today and it looks the same as it did before but smaller and not much pain. Does that mean it's a zit or what?
