Does Neosporin work for pimples and redness?

Question

Or Benedryl? I only have 2 weeks before school starts and I was wondering if it will be gone by then? Suggestions for dark circles too? Is there anything I can do so I don't break out in 2 weeks.

Thanks in advance! C:

PS. Don't suggest toothpaste since my sister tried it and it dried out her face.

Answer 1

I've read that Benedryl and Tylenol can take away some of the redness and swelling. Cortisone cream will do the same.

Answer 2

No to Neosporin for pimples and redness- only for open cuts.

Dark circles- cucumbers :-)  really, they help.

As far as preventing brekaouts- try the dermatologist, they have great medicines.

Answer 3

hmm...not sure, since I haven't used it. I tried toothpaste once too, and I got the same results as your sister - won't try that again.

My doctor gave me benzaclin to use, and it worked wonders. Of course it took a month or two to fix the problem, and it seems like you don't have time. So instead, try natural methods. Acne is caused by inflammation INSIDE your body, so to keep more from coming, (warning, this is gross) take a teaspoon of cod liver oil, it works really well for fixing inflammation. You can get it from a local health store. Use the neosporin on your face at the same time, then your working on the problem from the inside and out.

hope that helped ;)

Answer 6

Neosporin is an antibiotic to help heal liaisons in the skin - cuts and other open wounds. So no, it won't work.

Imo go to your local drugstore and pick up some neutrogina or any of those facial-cleaners with salicylic acid - the stuff that's used to treat acne. Use it daily.

As for dark circles, get more sleep.
