Pimple?

AsaThorsWoman

Have a pimple so big it's been dripping oil and hurting for 3x days.

Anyone know what I can do?

I tried honey and cinnamon masks and they really are helping.

If the masks are helping then keep doing that.

P.S. Gross!

I have alway heard that red clover tea is a "blood cleanser" that will help with pimples and boils and such. Not sure I believe it though!

Keep a close eye on it and if it doesn't get better soon, call your doc.
A few years ago, I had what I thought was a pimple, but it was a pocket of infection and required antibiodics.

Places like CVS have over the counter benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid that usually help clear things like that right up. Maybe try looking into those?

Also, try using some witch hazel.

Steam it and exfoliate. Then you can simply apply a bit of toothpaste to help it dry out.

Alcohol swabs/pads. Dries the sucker right up.

Get a washcloth wet, warm it in microwave for 20-30 seconds, put hot compress (only as hot as doesn't burn you) on it, reheat rag, do this until it comes to a head, then pop!

I've been popping it dozens of times daily for 3x days. It just keeps draining oil.

Go to target find E.L.F product in the makeup area and find the Zit Zapper. It is my fav. It has tea tree oil which will kill the bacteria. BTW it only costs 1 buck too.

Steam.

It brings watever it is to the surface.

Big Bowl of really hott water, face over the bowl with a towel over your head to close your face in the area of the steam.

Or a sauna. Lol.

I get pimples a lot (when does adult acne turn into geriatric acne?) and here's what I would do.
1) Put a hot compress on it for about 2 minutes.
2) Squeeze out everything until nothing but blood comes out. That's how I know I got most of the infected material out.
3) Put hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball (soak the cotton ball) and rub it in small circle until the pimple starts to sting...then keep holding it tightly on there for about a minute or two until it bubbles and turns the pimple starts to turn white.
4) Then I'd put an antibiotic ointment on it to clear up the infection.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 twice a day until it no longer oozes. After that, just repeat step 4 until the skin starts flaking off in layers on its own.

And if clear ooze is coming out, it's not oil, it's pus.

I have some tea tree oil at the house. I tried some Bergamont and it helped other areas but not the massive pimple.

Is this making anyone else hungry for cheese in a can?

Maybe if you keep describing it the pimple will shrivel up and die of embarrassment.

AnninStPaul

if it's clear, it is likely lymph. stop squeezing, dab something drying on it (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, OR witch hazel) 3-4 times/day with a cotton swab, and let it heal.

LMAO

By the way...if you have been popping it...perhaps let it be for a few days...all the picking at it may cause an infection and most likely a nasty scar is in your future.

I was thinking the same thing...
