Is there a good way to make the redness/swelling of pimples go down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Natural healing: Inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling) is the body increasing the blood flow to the area of the pimples to bring healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. Pimples are caused by blocked glands and as the contents increase, so does the inflammation of them. The key to getting them to heal is avoid further trauma to the area and let nature take it's course.
