Suggest Treatment For Pimple On Arm

A week ago I noticed a pimple on my arm I tried to pop it but nothing came out, well four days ago I woke  up and I could hardley raise or extend my arm noticed it was swelling and getting a little red and a little warm. Well the next day it was still the same. On the third day I noticed I had a little open sore that is very hard around it, and my arm is still swelling and getting even more red. I pressed on the hard spots around the sore and thick puss came out. Well now my arm is very red and the red has moved down all the way to my fore arm and thier is still hard spots around the sore. But it isn't a bump like a boil, it's like as if everything is under the skin.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pimple on arm which occurs due to blockage of clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected is another cause for this. I would suggest you to do yoga and meditation daily. You should get hormone levels monitored. Make use of product containing benzoyl peroxide. Take Multivitamin supplements. Drink plenty of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Apply Adapalene gel once at night. Also wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day.If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
