Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
I would keep a possibility of Inflammatory acne nodule.
-I usually ask my patients of inflammatory acne to take an oral antibiotic like Azithromycin Or doxycycline for 2-4 weeks or longer if required.
-I also advice my patients to use a Topical antibacterial gel like Benzoyl peroxide or nadifloxacin gel twice daily.
take care
regards
