Hi and welcome.
You continue with hydrogen cleaning,2 times owed days but always wash it out good with water. However,this may be folliculutis or abscess so you should take antibiotics Italy,best,amoxicillin for 5 days. Wish you good health. Regards

A couple of weeks ago, I used a Biore deep cleansing pore strip on my nose,to cleanse the pores and pull the black hairs on my nose, I guess it was not a good idea. I have researched folliculutis and understand your diagnosis. Thank you.
