Open wound pimple with aloe vera?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Simple Care: The real question is what not to do that slows down healing. Avoid using alcohol, peroxide, hibiclens, betadine, and bleach solutions. Inflammation ( red, hot, swollen, tender) is important to healing so anti-inflammatories (motrin, advil) are bad. Cover the area with a clean dressing changed every other day and protected from trauma. Antibiotics do not help healing unless it is truly infected.

Use soap and water: It's best to clean and cover with a bandage. The aloe vera may have bacterial contamination in it.
