I have a bad case of acting that broke out on my right cheek that has my cheeks puffed up and when i push on it it hurts really bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probable infection: I wold use some warm packs 15 minutes every hour and observe. If continues to be tender, or if there is heat or redness or pus, or fever or chills or a rash, then i would get seen urgently and get diagnosed and treated. I would refrain from any picking, sticking needles or such into the area or pressing on this area. Keep hands away from face. See pcp if concern.
