I popped a pimple, and now I have a question?

and it%26#039;s really gross now.


It%26#039;s red, and it looks, like, nasty.





What%26#039;s the fastest way I can get it to heal?


Yes, I know you%26#039;re not suppose to pop them, but I did. So don%26#039;t go off on me and be all: OMGNOOOODUNDOTHATITSCARS.


I know. Srsly. I just want to know if there%26#039;s any way I can get it to heal faster.|||First, since you already popped it, get the rest of the dirt and oil out.


That means pushing from multiple sides of the pimple, in towards the center of the pimple so that it doesn%26#039;t have anything else to get out. Then, clean it with HOT water and a tiny bit of regular soap. Try to get the soap only on the pimple, otherwise it may dry out your skin. Then, dab it dry with a towel, and put a small drop of toothpaste, just enough to cover the surface area of the pimple. Leave it on until it breaks into multiple pieces, wash your entire face with face cleanser, and tone and moisturize like usual.


Then don%26#039;t touch it at all for a few days.|||I had a lot of acne when I was younger. If I popped a pimple and it looked bad, I treated it with some of that tinted acne ointment. I think they have better stuff now than they did then.


It might also speed up healing if you apply heat for a few minutes to stimulate circulation. But don%26#039;t do that right before leaving the house; your face will be red.|||Wash the area with soap and water and then don%26#039;t touch it. Don%26#039;t use anything too harsh on it because you could just end up killing more skin cells than necessary.
