Does applying honey overnight to an infected pimple work ?

Possibly: Honey is known to be antibacterial. Acne can be caused by bacteria.Honey has been around thousands of years. Some studies confirm this property. Medical grade honey is preferred, otherwise, non-processed pure honey is best. Heat only with warmth of hands, apply sparingly, keep on for 15 minutes then rinse off daily. May work for some people, for others, if not bacterial, it doesn't.
