Colgate paste on my pimple. will t work out?

Not recommended.: Toothpastes are made for cleaning teeth; they are not meant to be applied to the skin. I'm aware that this is a fairly popular home remedy - and while toothpaste does dry out skin, it's not a recommended method for acne spot treating due to the irritation, peeling and redness that it causes. Use one of the many available acne remedies made specifically for that purpose.

I wouldn't: If you want to replace your acne problem with permanent scarring from chemical burns,you can use it.The longer this is on your skin at one time the more likely it is to hurt you.
