Question: hi i got a pimple on my right cheek about last week and it wouldnt go away so i put crest tooth paste on it and aloe. now its a dark red/ purple color. how do i get rid of this?
Brief Answer:
Stop picking on it..the best solution!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this pimple and all the inconveniences that this has caused you. The best treatment for any pimple is to stop picking on it ad manipulating often. That is the single and most important approach. Every manipulation aggravates the inflammation and makes it more likely for it to get infected. All these reactions aggravate the lesion, retards healing and exposes to possible complications.
In all, stop all further manipulations. Keep it clean and the healing would be gentle. Unless the redness and pain increase, there is no need to seek further aggressive medical intervention.
I hope this helps. I wish you well and thank you so much for using our services. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
