I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

Severe pimples with pus and odor on the nose suggest a need for more targeted treatment than just over-the-counter face wash. Given your symptoms, it’s likely that you’re dealing with a moderate to severe form of acne, and possibly some bacterial involvement. An important step would be to clean your face gently with a mild, non-comedogenic cleanser twice a day. Your current face wash may be too harsh or not suitable for your skin type. In terms of topical treatments, considering a cream containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid might be helpful as these ingredients help reduce inflammation and clear clogged pores. You might also benefit from a topical antibiotic like clindamycin or a retinoid, but these are typically prescription medications, so it’d be necessary to consult with a dermatologist.

It’s crucial to avoid picking or squeezing the pimples as this can worsen the situation and lead to infection or scarring. Regarding oral treatment, a short course of antibiotics could be needed if there’s a significant infection; again, this requires consultation with a healthcare provider. Since the issue with the odor suggests an element of infection, seeking professional assessment is advisable. Lifestyle factors like diet, stress levels, and sleep also play a role. Ensure you maintain a balanced diet, manage stress, and get adequate sleep as they can impact your skin’s health. If the symptoms worsen or don’t improve within a few weeks of starting treatment, see a dermatologist. They can provide a comprehensive evaluation and recommend a personalized treatment plan tailored to the severity of your acne and skin type.

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Hello

At age 17, painful pimples on the nose with pus, oily skin, clogged pores, and mild odor are most commonly due to infected acne or inflamed pores, a condition called Acne Vulgaris. The smell can happen when bacteria and trapped oil collect inside the pores. Since this started less than a week ago, it is usually treatable with simple medication and skin care.

Using only a face wash like Pond’s Men Energy Charge Face Wash may not be strong enough to treat infected pimples. A medicated topical treatment is often needed.

What usually helps first: Use a gel containing Benzoyl Peroxide once daily on the affected area, keep the skin clean but avoid over-washing (2 times daily is enough), avoid squeezing pimples, and use a light, non-oily moisturizer if the skin becomes dry.

Tablets (oral antibiotics) are not usually needed for pimples present for only one week unless there is severe swelling, spreading redness, fever, or many large painful boils.

See a doctor if the pus, pain, or smell worsens, if swelling spreads around the nose or face, or if there is no improvement within about 2–3 weeks.

Regards Take care
