Suggest Treatment For Painful, Smelly Infection On Chin
I have a painfull, smelly infection on my chin. It started off to appear as a pimple. I popped it and that I was done with it. However, a week later it has doubled in size and now smells. I no longer have any discharge from it other that what appears to be water.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having bacterial infection giving this problem.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 5 days like Amoxicilin or Doxycyclin.
Do not try to prick it as it might aggravate the condition.
Ok and take care.
