When will this pimple go away? (PICS!!!!) ?

Question

Have you ever had a pimple like this? I had to stop putting hundred of creams on it cause it was gettin really red and gross. Now I have started using my normal 3 step skin care, and a dab of rubbing alcohol. Its drying out I can see, but do you have any idea when it will go?

If it gets any bigger, you may have to give it a name!

Just keep your face clean. It will go away.

Answer 3

Subsurface infections are a pain cause they don't have the benefits of having the base cleaned and able to dry as to the surface infection counterparts.

You can do one of two things..  either leave it alone and let it go away on it's own,

Or hot compress.  wet a washcloth or towel as hot as you can stand it and hold it there for a while.  The heat will break up the white blood cells, the hard pack will loosen and break free and be drawn to the heat.  This is what we call "coming to a head"  Basically you take the infection and make it come to the surface. - Note* this can take several times with the compress over the course of a day or two.  For best do a compress twice, back to back right before going to bed, in the morning it should be to a head.  If not, repeat the compress throughout the next day.

Then, with clean hands (or gauze) when it comes to a head, pop it. Get the infection out and let the pore dry and return to normal size.

Because of their nature, sub-dermal infections last a long time, it is normal.  If you can't leave the infected pore alone after popping (causing irritation and more redness and swelling) then just leave it be.  If you can keep your hands off of it until it fully heals, draw it to a head and get the hard pack out.

To be honest, I don't have a clue when the pimple will go away.

It's one my dear, no worries. Some people have their face covered, luckily your not one of them. So, just wear cover up and get on with life.
