Question 1

squeezed small bump on neck. awful smelling stuff comes out. keeps coming back. it is not a boil. its under skin no head. is it infected pore.

Accepted Answer

Sebaceous cyst: This is a typical sebaceous cyst. It&#x27;s probably not infected now, and is harmless unless and until that happens. But it can be a pretty big deal if infection occurs. It can be treated with minor surgery to prevent recurrent accumulation, drainage, and infection -- probably by a dermatologist. Contact your doctor about a referral.

Question 2

how can i minimize the pores on my nose?

Accepted Answer

Salicylic: Salicylic acid can help to reduce pore size. This along with good skin hygiene that may include light microdermabrasion and treatment. Most importantly, take good care of your skin by eating right, staying well hydrated, & protecting your skin from the sun. You can find salicylic in many skin care products & facial washes. Mild laser treatments may also help the appearance of your skin over time.

Comedone extractor: Wash face w gentle cleanser 2x/day & use oil free products. No oily hair or heavy foundations. Exfoliate occasionally. Try not to pop pimples. Avoid touching face (cradling chin in hands). Remove makeup before bed. Shower after strenuous exercise. Consider otc products (salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide). If &gt; mild acne see dermatology (discuss meds, comedone extractor, pore strips, etc.).

Question 8

will a cut inside my 3 month olds nose from a bobby pin get infected?

Accepted Answer

It is possible as: there are many bacteria in the nose and young babies are more susceptible to infection. However, there is no way to know whether or not it actually will get infected. If you can see the cut, you can apply a small amount of bacitracin with a cotton swab to the area. If it becomes swollen or has pus, it may be infected. I would also recommend you call his/her pediatrician to discuss/be seen.

Question 9

my nose is really bad infected. i think i'm allegric but i'm not sure. ?

Accepted Answer

Possible: It is very unusual for these to get infected but tue signs are increasing redness, swelling, drainage, tenderness, warmth. A sensitivity or allergy to metals, particularly nickel, can look like an infection and may respond to a change to titanium or a purer gold.

Question 10

are nose piercings less likely to be infected if it is a ring instead of an l ?

Accepted Answer

Piercing: is the piercing of the skin that causes the infection not the shape of the object. It is likely that a more heavier object would cause more stress on the piercing and further tearing and therefore be a more source of infection
