What to do if i keep picking at a pimple on my nose, now its all red. how can i make it heal quickly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ongoing trauma: Picking has created inflammation which is the body trying to heal the area. When our bodies sustain an injury, the immediate response is inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling). 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. The key is to stop picking and allow the body's natural processes to heal.
