Reddish Sore Spot On The Face. Pus Formed. Can I Use Benozyl Peroxide?

Hi, sorry if I am doing this wrong but I am new to this site. I had a large spot on my face which I messed around with, I know I shouldn't have, and now it has become really red, sore and there has been puss coming out of it for a couple of hours. I have covered it with a band aid to avoid messing around with it any further. I have work in the morning- what should I do to not make this situation any worse? I have Benozyl Peroxide cream if this helps.

Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. You are probably in the right place if you are seeking help in the form of advise. I believe that what you had was a follicle which you did not treat correctly. I think that you should also need to see a doctor that is giving you systemic medications to help prevent the reoccurance of any of acneform lesions. I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
