I'm 49 have facial pimples filled with pus on my face for last three weeks. leave and come back. please help what is causing this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Multiple factors: Stress, diet and hormonal changes all can play a role in acne flareups. Oral antibiotics can be prescribed to help calm down flareups. See a dermatologist to see if prescription antibiotics and topical treatments are needed.
