A member asked:

I have recently had a fresh pimple open wound on face near lip, and while talking to a customer she spit and in landed in same area. worried?

Soap and water: You already have built a barrier to infection spreading since that is what the pimple has done- the swelling and redness. Soap and water was enough prevention. Now treat the pimple with warm compresses unless it gets worse and you need an antibiotic.
