Question 1

can you please describe the best ways for getting rid of pimples quickly?

Accepted Answer

No quick fixex: If two weeks on over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide doesn't clear you, get with your physician. You may be a rx for a topical retinoic acid derivative, the oral contraceptive pill (if you're female), topical clindamycin, a systemic antibiotic such as tetracycline, or a dermatology referral for possible isotretinoin. All acne is manageable today; it's not a hygiene or lifestyle problem. We can help.

Question 2

please tell me if there are any methods of getting rid of pimples quickly and effectively?

Accepted Answer

Scientific Rx: You can't cure acne, but you can manage it until it self-cures. If topical benzoyl peroxide hasn't cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician who can add prescription strength Rx as required.

Question 3

Quickly - no.: Wash face w gentle cleanser 2x/day & use oil free products. No oily hair or heavy foundations. Exfoliate occasionally. Try not to pop pimples. Avoid touching face (cradling chin in hands). Remove makeup before bed. Shower after strenuous exercise. Consider otc products (salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide). If &gt; mild acne see dermatology.

Question 4

what are ways to get rid of pimple scars quickly?

Accepted Answer

Many options: There are many different ways to try to improve the appearance of acne scars.  The best place to start is with a consultation with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who can review the expected results with skin care, resurfacing procedures, injections or surgical techniques.  Unfortunately this is often a difficult problem and you need to go in with the expectation of improvement, not perfection.

Question 5

how do you get rid of pimple scars quickly?

Accepted Answer

Don't pick!: First of all, don't pick. If you have an inflamed pimple, you can use put a cool compress on it for comfort, or a warm compress if is a whitehead about to drain.
Sometimes a trip to doctor for a tiny drop of steroid via injection. Use a tiny amount of Bacitracin until the scab is gone. Then try a scar gel like bio-oil or kelocote. Keep spf 30 over it, so that it doesn't get as much brown pigment.
