red pimple dots

[jay417]

Hi,

I am wondering if there is someone that could help. I have had 1 pimple-llike bump on my face and it had somewhat healed, well flattened but there is still a red dot on my face. IT has been there for about 3 weeks now. as well around the same time or before, on my other cheek there I would assume a tiny boil under my skin. looks like where there was a hair follicle? anyway it was not noticeable by the eye but when I touch my face I could feel it underneath. Finally I had done something stupit and pinched it out sooo hard that finally all this white stuff came out then blood.I know I should have used a sterilized needle or soemthing....but now I have a big scar because the tissue around it went all purplish or something...It looks scaredy and ugly. So it has been 2 weeks now since I have done that and no healling.

as well on the same side as the pimple like sore 2 more tiny bumps that now flattened are there. one looks like it has somewhat healed but the other is still there and is now flat  It doesn't look like it's going to heal? just tiny red dots

I don't know what this could be...cancer? I have no idea and I am worried.... I can send pictures to someone if they could help?

Please needing some advise.... i know I shuoild go tot he doctor but i am jsut scared! I posted this in STD...I was unseuure where to post this. ThenI saw this derm forum....

Wishing and hoping someone could give me some insite....

Hi,

This red bump that you have noted on your face may be acne.Not all acne are actually visible on the surface of the skin as red with a yellowish center containing pus.

If the area you popped did not seem to heal,I suggest that you have this checked by a dermatologist.We do not want infections to complicate any area of the face.You may need to take oral antibiotics.

I suggest that you refrain from unnecessarily touching the area.To assure you, this  does not fit the picture of skin cancer.

Hi and thanks for replying. as far as the boil type lesion that I popped i will try the product you mentioned. but for th epimple like lesion there was no puss.they were just tiny bumps that then came down in time and is now flat but is red tiny dots. This is why I am scared.

IT has not gone away and it has been a few weeks.

anyone knlow what this could be?

If there was pus inside the pimple, it is likely it was an acne lesion. Never pop or squeeze any skin lesion in any way. If it is an acne spot you will spread the bacteria under the skin leading to more spots. You can also cause secondary infection making diagnosis harder.
To speed healing and avoid scarring there are several good products I will recommend. Bio-oil is made of Vitamin A and fades new and old scars and discolorations of the skin. Clinique make two excellent products. Their Post-blemish formula helps your skin heal more quickly and discourages new blemishes from forming in the same place. They have also more recently launched a skin tone corrector which improves skin tone, including the darkening left behind after a blemish. Loiloi xx
