Question 1

what can i do to treat pimples using a homemade remedy?

Accepted Answer

Get a real Rx: Forgive my frankness. Acne is a serious, chronic disease that can devastate a young person physically and emotionally. It can be managed easily by a physician. If topical benzoyl peroxide has failed, get junior to a physician. If he ends up scarred because you insisted on a "home remedy", he will resent you for the rest of his life -- and he'll be right to feel this way.

Question 2

what is the quickest remedy, product or solution for treating pimples?

Accepted Answer

No easy answer: There is no "quickest" way to treat pimples. Otherwise you would not see so many products on the market and so many patients looking for dermatologists who might have "magic pills".

Question 3

what is the best treatment of pimples?

Accepted Answer

Several good options: For treatment of acne, over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide gel/cream is quite helpful. If desired, a doctor can add an antibiotic gel/cream such as Cleocin (clindamycin phosphate) gel. If more help is needed, prescription retinoids such as Retin-A or differin gel can be used instead of benzoyl peroxide. Oral antibiotics such as tetracycline can be used also. If acne is quite severe, a dermatologist might use oral accutane.

Question 4

are there any home remedy for minor pimples?

Accepted Answer

Benzoyl peroxide: It's as cheap as the honey / cinnamon / lemon concoction you read about on the internet, and the difference is that is actually works. It's not pleasant to use, but it clears minor acne in about two weeks.

Question 5

what is the treatment for pimple marks and dig?

Accepted Answer

A good face program: If you have already had a lot of cystic acne lesions or abscesses with scarring, you may have to get aggressive with ice-pick lesions left behind.  Start a good daily face program that includes a dedicated facial cleanser, exfoliator, serum, and moisturizer.  Many products these days contain retinoids, but you may want to get Retin-A 0.025% cream from you doctor to be used nightly.

Question 6

quick remedy for inflamed pimple with no head ?

Accepted Answer

No quick remedy: But you can try tea tree oil, melaluca gel, or other otc meds and don't mess with it - that will increase the inflammation.

Question 7

what are the best treatment/product for pimples?

Accepted Answer

Washes and creams: Benzyl peroxide and epiduo.

Question 8

i need to know what's an immediate treatment for a pimple?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: Either pop it or cover it up with makeup.

Question 9

is acnotin good to use for pimple treatment?

Accepted Answer

No, better options: No, acnotin or Accutane has been used in the past and has displayed great sucess with cystic acne but is now highly regulated due to side effects including birth defects in children from pregancy and increased tryglycerides. It is still being prescribed but only by registered physicians within certain specialties. Other options such as anitbiotics are much safer.

Question 10

what is the best treatment to eliminate blind pimples?

Accepted Answer

Injection by derm: "blind pimples" are deep acne lesions that usually do not reach the skin surface. They can't be "popped", so don't try, you'll only make them worse. The best treatment is injection of an anti-inflammatory medication with a very tiny needle. A dermatologist can do that for you. You'll probably also need an antibiotic to prevent formation of further lesions, but the dermatologist will decide that.
