Suggest Treatment For Infected Pimple On Nose Of A Child

My 5 year old developed a pimple like bump on his nose it wasn t really all that large but pus was visible and it seems to get tighter and tighter, after it was there for 2 weeks I popped it, the top part flew straight up and then it began to bleed, followed by a pea sized ball of pus behind the blood I cleaned it out put neosporin on it, and a bandaide, I thought it was just a pimple could it have been a boil.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, it could have been a boil with some mild pus inside. Since it has been opened up you don't have to bother. You can apply soframycin ointment. I find this more effective. Tc
