Pustule

A pustule is a swollen, pus-filled bump on the skin, often caused by infections or inflammation. While acne pimples are the most common type, conditions like chickenpox and psoriasis can also lead to pustule formation. 

Causes of Pustules 

Pustules form when the body sends white blood cells to fight infections, leading to a buildup of pus beneath the skin. 

Symptoms of Pustules 

• Pain, stinging, or burning in the affected area 

• Swelling and tenderness 

• Obstructive sensation in severe cases 

Treatment for Pustules 

• Topical antibiotics (creams, lotions, gels) 

• Oral antibiotics for severe cases
