A member asked:
This vinegar reduces swellings but will it also reduce the swelling of my pimple or could it cause it to flare up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Myths of healing: There is no evidence that vinegar does anything but make salad taste good.Pimples occur when glands in our skin get blocked and what they secrete collects/causes pressure. The immediate response is inflammation. This is the body increasing the blood flow to the injury to bring healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. Gentle cleansing, avoid picking/squeezing.
