what to do if i popped a pimple and now i have inflamed skin?

Red ex-pimple: Local wound care usually involves washing with a gentle soap and water twice daily, and applying cool compresses. Avoid picking and scratching as this will worsen the appearance and possibly cause superinfection. With time, color will likely change to brown then resume normal coloration.

Question 5

how to cure acne and inflamed skin?

Accepted Answer

Scientific Rx: The benzoyl peroxide you are already using is your best start. It's 50% likely to cure you; if in two weeks it has not, get with your personal physician. Pop remedies are only adjuncts. Acne's a serious problem, non-lifestyle related and a professional liability. It can be managed by prescription meds and i'd urge you to use these. Best wishes.

Question 6

my husband has red inflamed skin blotches on his face, he has had it before. when i change the shampoo then usually it happens. something otc?

Accepted Answer

Hives: This sounds like a somewhat serious reaction -and I would try to get more information about it. It's possible he is allergic to something in the shampoo, although I would want to know all his exposures. Unfortunately, allergy can become worse with the next episode. Do you know if this time it was worse than before? He should see an allergist or reach out to a doc here on health tap for better care

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Scientific Rx: First, manage your acne. If 5% topical benzoyl peroxide 2x/day hasn't cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician for something to add -- acne can be managed. Hydroquinone bleach can fade the dark spots (not the red spots) left behind, but be sparing or you'll disfigure yourself. Best wishes.
