What to do when a pimple on your face is hard and painful to touch

The acne on my face is hard and painful when I touch it. This may be a local inflammatory acne, especially if the original acne vulgaris is secondary to a bacterial infection, such as Propionibacterium acnes or Staphylococcus aureus infection, resulting in local inflammatory edema. This may lead to increased pain and requires anti-inflammatory and anti-infective treatment. Generally, topical fusidic acid cream or topical ichthyolipid ointment can be applied topically. If it is accompanied by obvious pus, you can also apply topical Longzhu ointment, and you can also take oral antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment at the same time, you can take oral roxithromycin or doxycycline, memantine, etc. Along with these treatments, patients should also try to avoid staying up late or eating spicy, stimulating foods. In addition, patients should also try to avoid squeezing with their hands, because squeezing may lead to more serious inflammation.
