Hi,
A pimple popped out on my face yesterday. Now it has become bigger. Are there any chances of it getting infected? What do I do?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
First thing is that you should never touch or squeeze a pimple. Wash your face three to four times a day with soap and cold water.
Apply Clindamycin ointment three times a day for a week. This is a topical antibiotic and this helps in preventing the infection.
If the pimple does not subside even after a week, consult a dermatologist online to know if you have to take oral antibiotics. --->https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/dermatologist
