Suggest Treatment For Pus Pilled While Head On Arm
I got a white head on my arm a day or so ago, which usually never happens; so I popped it and now there s a swelling bruise around the area of the white head. Every once in a while, I get a few ingrown hairs that cause white heads, but nothing like this has happened before. Should I be concerned?
After reading history you gave, I feel that most probably you may be having follicultis. Follicultis is an infection of hair follicle. There is reddish eruption followed by pus filled lesion. It is called pustule. It may be caused by bacteria like staphylococci. I suggest you to consult dermatologist. He might recommend blood tests to rule out internal diseases.
I would like to suggest few tips...
- a short course of antibiotics like azithromycine - anti inflammatory drugs like nimesulide - vitamin C tab - to apply antibiotic cream like sisomycine - bathing with dettol liq few drops poured in bucket of water - improve immunity with nutritious food and light exercise - improve hygiene
You might feel better after. Few weeks treatment.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
