A member asked:
How long will it take a large whitehead pimple on my left side of my forehead to go away ? do i pop it ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About a week: "large" means different things to different people. If large, it might still dry up without popping, but it also might pop by itself. Trying to pop it early can lead to a larger inflamed area, which might take longer to heal up.
