Popped pimple emergency


 

Don’t panic girlie ‘cause we’re gonna get your face looking glamorous again in no time. In reality, breaking out is very common for teen girls ‘n’ guys. Pimples will show up when least expected and often refuse to go away for several days. However, the worst thing you can do when a pimple arrives is to pick it. After popping a pimple, your skin will most likely swell, redden or bleed. Next time avoid picking them and use anti-zit creams instead. If you can’t resist the urge, use our pimple-popping guide to get it done right.
After already popping a pimple…

Solution 1: Use Neosporin
Dab Neosporin or another antibacterial ointment on the sensitive area recovering from the pimple. The medicine will kill the bacteria underneath your top layer of skin and will reduce the appearance of scars and scabs.

Solution 2: Wash your face daily
Washing your face will not only heal existing pimples, but also prevent new pimples from forming.

Solution 3: Avoid touching your face
When you touch your face, all of the oils and dirt from your hands transfer onto your face, thus causing more pimples. By touching your face, you will not only prevent existing pimples from healing but also cause new pimples to form. If you don’t give the hole in your face time to heal, it never will. So let it be and trust that your skin will look better soon.

Good luck, girlie!

sorry for bothering you but ihad this pimple on my chin last night in bed and it was small and i started scratching it which wasnt very smart but would proactiv help? it kind of irrited my skin when i put it on so what should i do now?

 

Hey! no worries, you're not bothering me, I love to help y'all! I think the best thing would be to wash your face with plain soap and water every night (and moisturize with a face lotion in the morning if you start to dry out) until you can ask your doctor what products might work best with your skin. good luck!

Hey, my brother has me pop his zips for him all of the time. Is this normal or is it crossing personal boundaries???




Hey girl, that's just not smart. Don't pop zits: they'll just come back worst. Tell him that and see how he reacts,

i hav acne and am using an acne face wash with sacilic acid and i still hav acne outbreakz! y? and is acne also worsended by eating junkfood? Thanks! Please comment on my profile!




Hey girlie, the junk food is a myth, but eating healthy is good for your skin! Make sure that you're washing your face twice a day and use spot treatments to help make your acne fade faster.

MOD MOD MOD! On my neck, armpits and the center of both of my arms are really dark! My doctor even said that it looked like I had a bruise there. I looked it up and it said that it could be a sign of diabetes (did i spell that right?) is that true? and how can i make it go away!?




Hey girl,

If the doctor didn't say anything about it possibly being diabetes, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you're still curious, have your parents take you to a dermatologist (skin doctor) because he or she will most likely know what it is and how to treat it. x0x0
