Symptoms and Signs:

Pustules are probably the severe stage of Papules.Pustules start appearing on the skin as red circles having a yellow or white colored center. Pustules differ from Papules because they are bigger in size and have a pus. However, to avoid having scars on skin you should avoid touching them at all no matter what.

Our skin is pre-programmed to produce oil, it is just like a natural process and you can play with it , so when you wash your face the skin tries to produce oil in that phase if you apply moisturizer then your skin gets satisfied with it and hence does not feel to produce more oil.Plus, if you are using Benzoyl peroxide then it makes your skin dry, hence it is a must to apply a good moisturizer which suits your skin best.
4. Vitamin- A cream is also suggested by many dermatologist. But, it should be kept in mind that it is really a strong cream, hence you should not use it no more than the size of a pea.
