Question 2

how to get rid of pimples under the skin ?

Accepted Answer

Pimples: If they are indeed whiteheads, or pimples under the skin, a tiny needle can be used to create an opening in the skin to release the oil inside. This should be done under sterile conditions, preferably in a doctor's office, to reduce the risk of infection and scarring.

Question 5

can large under the skin pimples be drained?

Accepted Answer

Pimple: Whiteheads or cysts under the skin are often treated with extraction , a technique where a dermatologist makes a tiny nick in the skin with a small needle and presses out the sebum with an instrument (comedone extractor).

Question 8

would a tea bag help to heal a pimple under the skin faster?

Question 9

i had a pimple under the skin and i put alcohol on it. the skin ripped up but pimple did not rise. how do i get the head to rise by tomorrow? its old

Accepted Answer

Rise up!: Prayer works for some people, not so well for others. No way to get pimples to work on a schedule. And alcohol just irritates things. My choice for spot therapy is an otc benzoyl peroxide product applied to a pimple after a hot soak, 3 times a day. This usually make things go away more quickly, or at least makes them come to a head.
