Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

I understand the discomfort you're experiencing from the pimple below your mouth. It appears you may be dealing with a more severe form of acne in this area, causing significant pain. Over-the-counter treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid are often effective for managing pimples. These ingredients help reduce inflammation and unclog pores, expediting the healing process. Apply a small amount of the product to the affected area once or twice daily, but avoid excessive use to prevent skin dryness and irritation. If the pimple is large, very painful, or unresponsive to over-the-counter treatments, it might be a cyst or nodule, which require medical attention. In such cases, prescription medications like oral antibiotics, topical retinoids, or corticosteroid injections may be necessary. It's crucial to consult a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Meanwhile, refrain from squeezing or picking at the pimple to prevent scarring and potential infection.

 

Thanks
