Neosporin on popped pimple or just keep open?

Put Cortisone cream  on it!  It will help soften it, take out the red and any scab will be gone in hours!  Make sure you use a fair amount and rub it in well!  Do it every few hours the first day and you should be perfect!

Yes, as lookingdabest mentions, I've heard of ProActive as being helpful, too.  I, however, have had no first hand experience with it.  Other than doctor prescribed Tetracycling, which has been helpful for me, I've been looking very seriously into something called "Zeno".  I've attached the link.  This device supposedly treats acne one pimple at a time, but makes them almost disappear in 24 hours.  Too good to be true?  I'm researching this over and over.

You CAN puncture it and let out the fluid and it will relieve the pain.  Use a sterelized pin or scissor and make a very small hole.  This will relieve the pain and act as a barrier to your raw skin.  You can also put on a bandaid with neosporin, but quite frankly, good old soap and water will do the trick.  The newest skin care prodacals call for only soap and water.  And sometimes neosporin can make it worse.

Don't put Neosporin in your mouth, it could be toxic to the stomach. If not could make you real ill. If you do happen to attempt this stunt and anything happens please call the poison control center. My advice would be this:\n\nTry sea salt soaks, and peroxide. I would hold off on Listerine because it has alcohol in it and might irritate it further. Salt should help bring the abscess out and take alot of the soreness away. The IB profin should keep it from getting really inflamed. Also if you can bear it, take a handful or a nice big pinch of salt, and put it directly on the sore! Leave it there for as long as you can stand it, then rinse with salt water or peroxide. (just careful not to swallow) It will most deff. bring the abscess in your mouth out quicker than if you just let it heal, it will probably take about a week or two to heal fully. If the abscess breaks be careful not to swallow any of the infection because it will make you sick and dizzy. Rinse well and maybe place a cotton swab over it (Depending on how bad it is) to keep the infection from running down your throat and you digesting some. GL with this, I've had abscessed teeth before, and it's no fun. You really need to see a Dentist if possible, but if this is out of the question...try the soaks and stuff and continue with the antibiotics and IB profin for pain. You'll get better soon, and if not seek medical attention ASAP! Best wishes

Hot/warm water on a washcloth. As crazy as it sounds--toothpaste, it helps to draw out a pimple. Good luck!

2 ways:\n1) accutane. will clear you up, totally!\n2) Find a really good Dermatologist or esthetician. They have shots that go right into the pimple or cysts. In a day it is gone.

Depends on why the blisters are there!!  If you don't know, it wouldbe a real good idea to have them check out.  In general you are better off leaving them alone.  If they itch try calamine lotion.  Any open blisters could be covered with an antibiotic ointment to help healing and prevent infection.  Any fluid from the blisters could cause them to spred if there infectious too.  Good Luck.

Though it is oh so tempting to do so, I have read that popping can cause spreading of the bacteria that cause the zits in the first place.  Evidently this leads to more zits.  Scarring is an issue also when you pop.

Sweetie?  Age is the only thing besides genetics and cleanliness that will make them go away.  If you get what appears to be a zit, and you wait until you think it is safe to pop it and nothing comes out except clear fluid, it is a growth homrmone thing.  Otherwise, don't use lotions or foundation or powders and what have you because it clogs your pores. I know that in Junior High School, my friends that got pimples and such would plaster on foundations and powders to cover it up and it only made the problem worse.\n\nDo you have a family doctor that you visit regularly?  Ask him/her to give you a referral to a dermatologist.   How about genetics?  Have you asked your Mom (if you don't have one, sorry for that question) if she had the same problem when your age?  Sweetie?  I wish I could stress enough to all young men and women that this too shall pass.  Those who like and/or love you will always like/love you regardless of your skin problems. The key is to not pick, poke or pop them unless they are like a huge cloud just waiting to burst with rainfall.  There is going to come a day when you will have no more pimples but if you don't heed what I say, you will have lots of scars.  See a dermatologist, please?  Store brand rememdies don't always work.  Good luck sweetie.  Your beauty shines through all of that because it comes from within.  Smart people who have good hearts will know that.  Those are the folks that won't care if you have one pimple or full blown acne.  Know what I mean?   Big Hugs, Sheri

You can't unless you pop it, and you don't want to do that. It may hurt and get infected. Put a band-aid over it and wait for it to pop on its own. Then keep neosporin on it until it heals.

Hello!  I am a lisenced cosmetologist/esthitician and I work for a health spa's internet company selling Dermalogica skin care products.  I understand your woes from personal experience, I never got acne problems untill I reached my 20's and then I had acne breakouts contsantly (and still deal with them).  First thing to remember is that popping them will always be worse, the infected liquid (puss) inside will more than likely spread onto uninfected skin causing more breakouts.  Also, popping them by force will cause a small rupture in your skin leading to scarring.  The best thing to do is leave it be, but be sure you cleanse your face twice daily and if you haven't already, try and get into a good daily regimen which should include (but not limited to) using a cleanser suited for your skin type, followed by applying a toner and then immediately applying a moisturizer.  Finally, you can use a clearing and scar diminishing blemish control product that can help.  Another thing to keep in mind is that even if your skin is oily, you should never dry it out.  Oily skin still needs to be moisturized, drying it out removes the skin's natural barrier and can provoke more breakouts.  I can suggest some of Dermalogica's product since I am very familiar with it and trust the quality.  Dermalogica makes a medicated clearing gel that I use, a special clearing booster and an acne prone skin care kit.  I will provide you with my employer's website because we sell at discount rates and Dermalogica tends to be pricey.  It is not the only brand out there of course, so look around and find a skin care line that works for you (there are also two other lines on the site).  I also included a url for a page containing some helpful information.  Most importantly, try not to pop!

Stop trying to pop it, it will only make it more irritated, and could even leave a scar.  Keep using the Proactiv.  The best way I have found to get rid of pimples in 2-3 days is Clean and Clear's Persa-Gel 10.  It works miracles.

It may be infected. Get some Neosporin at the drugstore and keep putting it on there several times a day. It will get better, unless you have the flesh eating bacteria, then you may want to go to the hospital.

As usually some bad and stupid answers I read here.\nFirst, the pimple should never squeezed hard and too early to avoid possible scars.\nThen the Preparation-H is a cream for haemorrhoids!  \nWhatever thing you do the same it will remain there for the right time to be absorbed.\nThus, please do nothing especially if you haven’t fat skin or too many pimples.

cleanse with hydrogen peroxide every day (morn and nite) and put neosporin (antibacterial ointment) on it for a week.  And don't play with it or wear tight clothes on it.

Neosporen, then re rap it every nite before you go to bed to keep it moistureized! The neosporen will help it not scar as easy\n--speaking from expierence

If it is a pimple put toothpaste on overnight... you could put some ice (in a washcloth) on it now to take away the swelling & redness... DON'T pick it.  That will only make it worse. As far as covering it... they do make blemish cover (it's green)  I know it sounds strange but the green tint covers the red and it really really works!  I used it today.  Just put it on under your regular makeup.  Good luck.
