Question: Can an infection cause swelling...?
Can an infection from a picked at pimple cause your face to swell.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Yes, the mucus and swelling is your body's attempt to push foreign material out. Bacteria on your hands that could have invaded the area when you picked at the pimple, likewise picking at the pimple tears the skin and allows bacteria in. If your whole face is swelling you need to get into a doctor's office quickly, you may need antibiotics. If it is only the area around the pimple that is swollen, treat it with something like peroxide or a triple antibiotic ointment. If that doesn't show improvement within a day or two, get to the doctor. Health Question & Answer
