What Causes Infected Lesion Below Nose?
Question: I thought I had a zit at the bottom of my nose. It kept growing but never came to a head. I probably shouldn't have done this but I tried to sqeeze it to get the puss out. Inner nose started to swell along with my cheek. Swelling stopped. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
