subject: How To Get Rid Of A Pimple Exactly? [print this page] There are a lot of people out there who would like to rid themselves of pimples, and that's not really a surprise. Pimples aren't really aesthetically pleasing, and getting rid of these things should be the goal of anyone who has one. But how do you get rid of it exactly? As with anything, there is a right way and there is a wrong way. So let's look at a few of the right ways.
First off, never squeeze a pimple, ever. This is something that you should avoid while trying to get rid of your pimple. Squeezing it will only make it more irritated, and even worse, it will become infected which is rather unpleasant.
If the pimple was tiny before you squeezed it, then you can bet that it will be much more visible after you squeeze it. Another problem is that the infection may very well spread in this instance, which is the biggest reason that you should never squeeze a pimple.
It's likely a good idea not to try drying it out. Yes, it might appear to work at first, but then the skin will create more oil. Then the pimples will spread, and you will have even more. If you thought one was bad, just wait until they're all over your face! Do your best to avoid drying the skin, because this is not how to get rid of a pimple.
So the question remains: how to get rid of a pimple? First of all you are going to need to give the affected area a thorough cleaning, and you are going to need to do this every single day. Cleaning will reduce bacteria, and that is bacteria that might cause acne. No, it's probably not going to cure the problem, but it will help out somewhat.
You can buy over the counter acne cream, as this is a great way to help get rid of a pimple. These creams have the ability to break up oils, dirt, etc, and it will even dry out the pimple. The acne will begin to shrink, and over time it will vanish.
For the most part, the only think you're going to need to get rid of it are the OTC creams. If that does not work however, you're going to need to take it a little further. In that case, you will need to visit a dermatologist.
So how will a dermatologist help? There are many different treatments they can give you, from antibiotic creams to more oral medicines. Then there are cortisone injections, which are able to shrink down some pimples. There are many different things that a dermatologist can do for you, which is highly recommended for those suffering from a pimple that will not go away.
It's a hit and miss process, but you need to stay away from the bad ideas. Make sure that you take steps to get rid of them, and make sure that you do it wisely. That's all you can be expected to do!
