What can i use to put on a popped pimple in order to reduce the visibility of the scar it will leave?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acne: It's generally recommended not to squeeze the pimples and it can worsen the inflammation. Have a physician take a look at it to determine severity of acne and if there is a need to prescribe retinoid cream.
