Stop: Toothpaste is for tooth cleaning, not acne treatment. All you did was irritate your skin. Toothpaste is for use in the mouth, not outside of it. Where on the toothpaste tube does it say, "for treatment of acne?" please call your pcp or a dermatologist for proper treatment regimen for acne.

Not Good Idea: Using any toothpaste for your acne can cause more redness and irritation. Please don't ever do this to your face, save the toothpaste for your teeth only. See your doctor for examination.
