Yeah, pustules is the technical term and yeah they're no fun and look terrible, I agree. If they're just surface zits, I would just poke with a pin and drain so you're not walking around with pus-filled zits. My 14-year-old gets these all around this mouth, often wakes up with 2-3 new ones every day. He drains them carefully before school and they're usually just a small scab by the next day. Thankfully these sort of acne won't scar as long as you leave them alone after they scab over.

But i am really scared about popping them. I am scared if i pop them, i am in risk of getting marks and the bacteria from the pus may infect the other parts of my face

Have u tried taken anitobiotics for it ? I also get white pus filled pimples,But nothing seems to be working.i

Yes exactly, nothing seems to be working. No, i havet started any course of antibiotics. Will it do me any good?

If done properly on white surface zits this shouldn't happen but I get your concern. Here's some info that may help:

Hope this is helpful!

Oh that was helpful indeed. But i still dont wish to pop them like that. I want them to heal naturally. Its just that they keep and keep appearing constantly. It. Is not getting better and this is never how my skin reacts. Its so weird. I just dont understand what is going on and an completely clueless.

If any one can suggest some solutions which have worked for you please share it here:)

Thank you very much by the way @DeLovely . It is very much appreciated:)

Anyone else has some suggestions?

I have been on antiobiotics for this.It becomes better on antibioctics but as i stop using antibiotics.it starts again within 4-5 days.I use to get it all over my face.

Hi everyone,

 

So recently, I have been battling with white pus-filled pimples all around my face . I am not so sure what is going on. After going through some research, i realized they were called pustules.

 

I used to suffer from eczema and that too for my face. So it was very rare of me to get pimples. Its rare for me to get pimples at all and suddenly i am seeing these white pimples all over my face. I feel super insecure about them because they have an extremly ugly apperance. Ive tried so many products and natural remedies from apple cider vinegar, turmeric masks, epsom salt face wash etc

 

Currently, i wash my face only at night with a morrocon lava red clay cleanser where i make it myself at home by mixing water and the clay with a ratio of 2:1. And as for my night time moisturizer, i use organic sweet almond oil. In the morning, i just wash my face with cool water and thats it.

 

My diet is preety well too. I dont consume too much junk. And drink about 3-4L a day with 2 cups of green tea everyday.

 

Still, i am suddenly breaking out and i just keep losing hope in everything and i feel as if i lost all my self-esteem.

 

If there is anyone out there who can suggest me some ways to improve my skin condition please do as i am desperately in need of help!

 

P.S. Actually after more research, I found out that pustules are inflamed with a red-bottom underneath the pimple itself. However, mines is just white with no inflammation. Is it a zit? I am still not so sure

 

P.P.S I get a lot of tingly sensation on my face. Somehow I feels like the hair follicile keeps moving. I don't know it sounds very weird. Is it normal?

 

Hi - how long have you been using the clay mask / almond oil regimen? Oils can really be hit or miss for a lot of people. I would suggest switching from the almond oil to a non-comedgenic, oil-free moisturizer. Additionally, I don't think the clay mask in the morning should really function as your cleanser, you may try using a simple cleanser for sensitive skin after using the mask and at night to wash off the day.

How long have you been getting the whiteheads, did the come on suddenly or gradually? Do they appear cyclical (i.e., do they come with your period if you're female)?

I'm really prone to those types of pimples too. An antibiotic worked for a while but it wasn't good to take long term and I didn't want to become dependent on them (which I totally was).. So about 6 weeks ago I dumped all my $$$ prescription creams and pills and started dans regimen. Don't get me wrong I still breakout (you can check out my progress on my blog) but overall I think I've improved a lot, not just in the number of pimples, but my skin tone and texture too. I'm gonna see where I'm at after 12 weeks but I'm hoping for clear skin and think I'm on my way. I'd recommend giving that a try and give it time and patience. Don't worry acne is temporary and you'll get clear!

Same here forgot to take my antibiotics and broke out a lot i mean a lot bunch of little white puss filled white heads all over my mouth some on my nose and on my neck where i have never had acne before. But for me i noticed that every time i am outside sweating a lot the next day i will break out. Anti biotics will help for a short time but after you stop taking them the acne might come back. What i usually do is steam my face to open up the pores and pop them suckers out and wash my face with cold water. It does not leave noticeable scaring ( in my case), but going to the Derm on monday and see what he says.

Shailansohail, do you still have this same problem? I had exactly the same thing, white puss filed bumps, no imflamation, tingly/itch filing on face like hair follicles were moving. I've had a hard couple of years trying to manage it but I have made huge progress the last few months and would be happy to exchange tips if you'd like?
