Suggest Remedy For Lumps

HI,I squeezed a really small spot on my face but squeezed it with a lot of pressure. I now have a huge lump under the skin (about 3cm in diameter). My whole face it swollen and there is no sign of any discharge or head as it's very deep in the skin. My mum has a tube of Dermovate - NN. Should I use it to try and help clear it up?

Hi,
From your description I suspect you have cellulitis which is an infection of the deeper layers of the skin. Dermovate is unlikely to help. You will need antibiotics therefore I suggest you see your doctor for assessment.
