Why Is The Spot On My Cheek Oozing Orange Pus?

Three days ago I noticed had a spot on my cheek (it looked like a zit the first day) and then it swelled up and formed a blister-like bubble and orange pus was coming out of it. It s now Sunday and I ve been taking prescribed antibiotics, and although the swelling and redness has gone down a lot, there is still orange pus leaking out. What is this?

Hi,

As per your query, you have symptoms of a spot on my cheek oozing orange pus which occurs due to allergic reaction due to detergent, soap, an animal bite or an insect sting, and it could be due to infection of the hair follicle.

Need not to worry. You should apply cold compresses and avoid any cosmetic product. For now, take benadryl. I would suggest you consult a dermatologist for proper examination. The doctor may prescribe antihistamine, corticosteroid ointment and may give adrenaline short. Avoid touching or picking the rash. Maintain complete hygiene.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
