Dried pus like formation on skin
From about 3 months, I have been seeing dandruff like formation in the spot where you now see yellow coloured pus like formation in the picture (a little below my nose). I was ignoring it so far but its increasing and also giving me a burning sensation when touched.
Could someone please suggest what it is, and any possible treatment.
