How To Remove A Pimple On Face?
I have a pimple , skin color on side of nose tiniest bit on face. It is small but has been there for 2 years. No change, does not hurt, just looks bad to me. I know better than to squeeze it but most likely would be rid of it if I did. Should I see dermitologist?

Hi.
As per your case history you are having a sebaceous cyst on face.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for pain.
4. Only curative treatment is excision under local anesthesia done by a dermato-surgeon.
Thanks.
