Pimple on nose for more than a week
I got this pimple on my nose appx 10 days ago and it doesnt seem to go.
1. I am using benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel since last 4 days.
2. Today i tried ice pack also. It helped reduce the bump.
I usualy dont get pimples. And since this is right on nose its matter of concern. I hvnt squeezed the pimple yet coz i do not want a mark.
Kindly help. Thanks

The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.

My first advice
Please dont squeeze
That will lead to permanent scarring.
Kindly consult a qualified skin specialist only nearby your area.
As you might require few procedures if not resolved.
