Suggest Remedy For Pimple Like Lesions On The Face In Elderly People
I m 64 female ,in good health. For over 2 yrs I ve experienced small lesions on my face .They resemble the start of a pimple but there is never white or pus like material. These lesions bleed profusely. Some have gotten large and almost cystic like. Sometimes just a gentle itch or rubbing motion is enough to almost saturate a tissue with dark red blood. I ve seen 2 Derm specialists who prescribed antibiotics, ointments, a steroid cream. They still reoccur. Any suggestions?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pimple like lesions on the face which are cystic in nature and filled with blood as well which could be due to oily skin , hormonal changes , due to some medications , skin infection and sun exposure . I would suggest you to exfoliate your skin once a week to remove the dead skin and apply vitamin E oil before going to bed. You should wash your face and apply clindamycin and Isotrentoin gel on them. You should chew vitamin C tablets daily. If condition doesn't get well or get worse then consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with corticosteroid cream. Doctor can go for laser therapy and chemical peeling as well.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
