Suggest Treatment For Red Pimple Like Bump On Nose
Question: I have a red pimple like bump on my nose and I can't pop it, it's a little tender to the touch but not too bad.
Brief Answer:
Acne lesion; use a topical antiacne antibacterial
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have reviewed the Image. This seems like an inflammatory acne lesion.
I would suggest you to apply one of the topical antiacne antibacterial e.g either clindamycin 1% gel or benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel, twice daily for a few days.
An OTC anti-inflammatory e.g ibuprofen twice daily will provide you symptomatic relief from pain.
Regards
