I am a 22 year old woman who has combination skin and a fair Irish
complexion, and I get the occasional monster of a pimple that just
doesn't go away. It starts out as a sort of swelling and I try my
best to not mess with it. At the start of the swelling I use
Invisible Blemish Gel with SA as the main ingredient. This usually
helps the swelling go down, but occasionally there forms a white
head, which looks tiny and poppable. So I pop it and yes, out comes
white stuff, but also blood, which is a sign that I should have
just left it alone, because it is obviously deeper than it looks,
and yet I continue to just keep squeezing and popping until it
scabs. Then I have a horrible, red, peeling scab that I have to
treat. And although I have read from other posts in my research on
pimples that Neosporin need NOT be used, I use Neosporin plus pain
relief, I use it at night without make up on and I use lots of it -
almost the size of the NERDS candy if anyone knows what that is.
But I do use a bunch directly on the scab, and in the morning I put
it on lightly under my make up and just make sure to gently, but
thoroughly wash your face and repeat at night until it has healed.
And to diminsh the red mark quicker, I use Body Shop's tea tree oil
blemish stick, but honestly any tea tree oil applied to it will
help, and to prevent scarring, if you feel Neosporin didn't do the
trick, then use Vitamin E oil from the Vitamin E gel caplets sold
in stores. It works fantastic.
