How do I reduce the redness of a pimple after it has been popped?

Question

I couldn't resist... I know it's terrible to pop them but I couldn't help myself. Now I have a huge red spot that looks worse than the original pimple. How do I reduce the redness within a day or two (read: by work on Monday) without covering it up with makeup?

Answer 1

Put an ice cube on it.  And add a drop of tea tree or lavender oil to sterilise it and stop it getting infected.  As long as you leave it alone it'll be fine by Monday.

Answer 2

dont poke it or fiddle around with it and put something cold on it like a frozen steak or ice...

Answer 3

Answer 4
