Is there such thing as an infected pimple?!
Question: Okay, I know this sounds bad, but I have this pimple on my chin although I think the pimple part is gone now. It has green scab around it and is very red. It also keeps draining this clear fluid. Is there anything I can do to help it get better? Thank you so much!

Yes, you can have an infected pimple. You can put some antibiotic ointment on it and keep it covered. Please don't pick it! If it does not seem to be getting any better, or if the redness gets worse and it is getting bigger, you should see a doctor who can prescribe an oral antibiotic.
