What can i do to treat pimples and blackheads fast!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Squeeze or pop: Squeezing works, but more frequent gentle washing of face with very warm water will reduce the number of pimples (blocked pores). Doxycycline/ tetracycline/ Minocycline seem to soften and dissolve the plugs blocking pores, but you need a prescription from a dermatologist to get them.
