Pimple help: pimple .. - Help.com

Try putting a dot of toothpaste on it overnight. Toothpaste kind of sucks the infection out and dries out the pimple. It won’t make it look pretty right away, but it can help to get rid of the core problem which is the infection. Then keep your face clean, DON’T clog it back up with makeup, and don’t touch it. Getting things in it or touching it will transfer bacteria back into the sore and it will keep getting infected, bigger, and uglier.

Oh, and when you use toothpaste, use the white stuff, not the gel. The key ingredient is the baking soda.

ok i wont touch it anymore, it looks like uh it so yuck, if it was on my forehead or something it wouldnt bother me so much, but its just on my lip line and people might think i have herpes or something. but its not herpes

I feel for you, if it’s really swelled just use Clearasil. It dries them out very well, after two or three days they basically flake off.

very disgusting I know.

Anyway, guys have it worse. Battling it like what, five years now?

NO WONDER I’M SINGLE IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.

Anyway. I’m sure it’ll be fine. just temporary. Just remind yourself that you care much more than other people do. Which tends to actually be the case.

Hope that helps. although everyone else seems to have better methods I’m just posting my own.

I would just pop it and put warm water on it to clean it and open the pores and dab abit of spot cream on it or something else for spots. There are loads of different things you could use:clean and clear, clearisil, freederm, witch hazel. If you use anything though and your skin goes bright red then wash it off and try something else cause your skin might be sensitive to it. so then you’ll have to look for something for sensitive skin. That’s what I have to do. I can’t use clearasil. and definatly dont pick and keep touching.
