Guys, I’m having this big red acne right on my nose for one week. I don’t touch it not tease it but I’m wondering when will it go away.

Hello Rohit008 and welcome to the community. Firstly, well done for not teasing the acne as to do so could lead to scarring . It must be hard not to touch it though, and of course you want it to just go away quickly. Unfortunately, I'm not sure anyone can really tell how long that will take since acne is one of those conditions that can affect people differently. Perhaps check with your health professionals if it becomes very worrying? Take care.
