Suggest Treatment For A Large Spot Appearing On The Face
hi i have a large spot on my face that seems to be raised behind the skin but does show multiple small heads on the skin.
When i squeeze the small heads i get some puss that comes from the skin but the mass of the spot/bump seems to be behind the skin and not attached to it?
Could you offer any diagnosis?
Thanks

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of large spot appearing on the face which occur due to over sun exposure . Sun exposure trigger the melanocytes of skin to produce melanin pigment which cause dark complexion or dark spots. I would suggest you to :-
- Drink at least 8-9 glasses f water daily and eat citrus fruits.
- Avoid oily and spicy food.
- Apply broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 even if your are not under sun exposure to prevent your skin from further damage .
- Wash your face with cold water and mild soap twice a day .
- Exfoliate your skin once a week to remove the dead skin and bacteria .
- Apply kojic acid cream at night which is a natural extract of mushroom , very effective and safe for long term use.
- Avoid use of steroids on face.
If condition doesn't start getting better then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe procedure like chemical peeling , microdermabrassin or may prescribe hydrocortisone cream.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
