Hello,

Ive been looking through these questions for about a week and I decided I needed help.

I am 15 years old with combination skin, i dont take birth control, or any other prescriptions. I havent seen a dermatologist and please dont tell me i should because there arent any around where i live.

 

My only goal this summer was to have clear skin before school. And i used korean acne products while i was in another country until this month.

 

about a week an a half ago, i bought the neutrogena rapid clear stubborn acne cleanser, rapid clear foam scrub, and the rapid clear acne eliminating gel. It works so well! After few days I was left with a few noticeable pimples and just mostly flat pimples. Of course it also started flaking. So i went and bought the rapid clear toner and the grapefruit moisturizer as well! But the first night i used it i only got 2 hours or sleep for some reason and my flat pimples became red and noticeable so i couldnt blame the products.

 

Anyways.. My pimples were just being on and off but my skin wasnt flaking anymore.

Last night, I went to bed after putting on the rapid clear acne eliminating gel and the pimples that were NOTICEABLE, became filled with HUGE PUS! well only one did and 3 others were normal pus. I popped it with an extractor (the big one) and clear fluid did come out and right when i thought i popped it right, now it is filled with some kind of WHITE thing but doesnt look like pus. and the one out of the other 3 pus filled acne i popped was BLEEDING and now the skin around it is swollen basically and it looks like pus came back again..

 

So help me, what should i do

?????

Sounds to me like you might have gotten some secondary infection going on. I would suggest an antibacterial cleanser morning and night. A cleanser with some chlorhexidine in it or even an acne.org level BP or low concentration peroxide cleanser solution could help. Take care to wash hands before touching products or face while that heals. Getting a clean pillow slip often can sometimes help too (as often as you can stand to do the extra laundry!)
