So I had this round, inflamed, protruding skin on my upper cheek. I thought it might be a boil, so I applied heat yesterday and today it looked slightly smaller with a small scab over it. I could see some a little pus underneath and I read that draining might be a good idea so I applied pressure and out came a little bit of yellow fluid and a lot of blood. When I cleaned the area there was a huge hole on my face! It’s like a pore but a lot bigger, and I don’t know what should I do to prevent infection and scarring?? Please this is serious.
I’m a teen and have mild acne. This thing appeared after a breakout and seemed very characteristic of a boil but I don’t know, I’m just worried about this opening which I would say is a little smaller than the widest part of a pen tip.
