How To Reduce Swelling Between Eyebrows?

I had this pimple between my eyebrows, and after an attempt to pop it, nothing really happened except it created a huge scar and the skim area between my eyebrow is swollen. How do i get the swelling to go down? And how do i get rid of the pimple and scar fast?

Hi,

To reduce swelling between eyebrows, you can try the following remedies:
* Cold compress: Apply a cold compress, such as a bag of frozen vegetables or a cold gel pack, to the affected area for 15 minutes at a time, several times a day.
* Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory: Take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication, such as ibuprofen, to help reduce swelling.
* Aloe vera: Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce swelling and promote healing.

As for getting rid of the pimple and scar, you can try these steps:
* Keep the area clean: Clean the affected area with gentle soap and water to prevent infection.
* Topical treatments: Apply over-the-counter acne creams or gels that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to help reduce inflammation and prevent future breakouts.
* Time: Scars generally take several weeks to several months to fade.
* Medical treatments: If the scarring is severe, you may consider seeing a dermatologist for more advanced treatments, such as corticosteroid injections, laser therapy, or microdermabrasion.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
