If it's oozing a clear liquid, press a tissue against it to suck up what you can. Then pull out an emergency zit kit of drier, putty-like concealer and a clean brush. “After every use, you want to clean the brush with brush cleaner or rubbing alcohol,” says Roncal.
Cover the area
Arora suggests hydrocolloid pimple patches, since hydrocolloid absorbs drainage and helps the wound heal.
Make sure the wound is clean and healed before applying a high-coverage concealer that matches your skin tone. Then, apply a small amount of the concealer directly onto the cut and blend it in with your fingers or brush.
Itchy bumps filled with clear liquid may be blisters. Blisters have many possible causes, such as an injury, eczema, allergies, infections, and more. Treatment may depend on the cause, and home remedies may help. A blister is a raised part of the skin that fills with clear fluid.
DO: Blend Two Shades of Concealer. Using a concealer that's too light or too dark can make a pimple stand out more. Try mixing two shades of concealer to make a custom blend that's a precise match for your skin. Be careful to blend the edges of the concealed area to create a seamless line with the surrounding skin.
Hydrocolloid dressings – in the presence of wound exudate, hydrocolloid dressings absorb liquid and form a gel, maintaining a moist environment. They are ideal for abrasions, postoperative wounds and shallow ulcers.
Your body can gradually break down pus and reabsorb its components. That's why small accumulations of pus (like in a pimple) often don't need treatment.
headache – which is often severe, located in a single section of the head and cannot be relieved with painkillers. changes in mental state – such as confusion or irritability. problems with nerve function – such as muscle weakness, slurred speech or paralysis on one side of the body. a high temperature.
Cover broken skin with a thin layer of a topical steroid then a thick layer of a cream or ointment. Then, put a wet bandage over the ointment and cover that with a dry bandage. The bandage will help your skin absorb the cream and stay moist. Ask your doctor to show you how to wrap your skin.
Using makeup too soon or on a wound that has not fully healed can cause irritation, infection, and potential scarring. It's essential to understand that healing times can vary depending on the individual and the factors that influence the healing process.
It's tempting, but popping or squeezing a pimple won't necessarily get rid of the problem. Squeezing can push bacteria and pus deeper into the skin, which might cause more swelling and redness. Squeezing also can lead to scabs and might leave you with permanent pits or scars.
Silicone gel or hydrogel sheets may be especially helpful if your sore is large or very red. Change your bandage daily to keep your sores clean while they heal. Use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on your sore after it has healed. Sun protection may help reduce discoloration and help your scar fade faster.

My routine: get it to stop weeping. Slap some moisturizer on that bad boy and follow up with a small dab of your favourite primer. Proceed with foundation/concealer as usual. I've found a small, rounded brush for powder application helps the powder adhere to it best (as most foundation/concealer slides off quickly.)
As the wound begins to dry, a crust starts to form in the outer layer. If the crust is yellowish and if there is a formation of pimples on or near the wound, it could be septic. Sores that look like blisters. If there is a formation of sores which look like pockets of fluid around the area, they could be septic.
Air dries out the wound and promotes cell death, not healing. Covering the wound maintains the natural moisture that helps keep cells alive. An exposed cut will pick up dirt and debris from the air. A wound that heals in a moist environment is less likely to leave a scar.
Since infected wounds tend to be purulent and produce excess fluid, the best choice for dressing infected wounds are usually absorbent dressings such as alginates, collagens, and hydrocolloids. Alginates are highly absorbent, so they should only really be used on highly exudative wounds.
