What do you for a pimple that does not have an opening?
Here are some suggestions for dealing with a pimple that does not have an opening (closed comedone or whitehead):
1. Don't pick or squeeze it. This can cause the pimple to become infected or leave a scar.
2. Cleanse the area twice a day with a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water. This will help to remove dirt and bacteria that can clog pores and lead to pimples.
3. Apply a warm compress to the pimple for 10-15 minutes, 3 times a day. This will help to bring the pimple to a head and make it easier to extract.
4. Use an over-the-counter acne medication that contains benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. These ingredients can help to kill bacteria and unclog pores.
5. If the pimple does not improve after a few days, you may need to see a dermatologist for treatment. They can extract the pimple or prescribe medication to help clear it up.
Here are some additional tips for preventing pimples:
* Wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water.
* Avoid touching your face with your hands.
* Change your pillowcase frequently.
* Eat a healthy diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
* Exercise regularly.
* Get enough sleep.
* Manage stress.
