How long will it take for an inflamed pimple to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It varies based: on size of pimple, and if you have manipulated it. If it is a regular pimple and no a sebaceous cyst, typically a week, but do not squeeze it or it will take longer to heal. For quick clearance, see dermatologist for cortisone injection
