Redness From Acne?!?! Please Help…?
Hey, thanks for taking the time to help me with this – please read all of this so you can understand my problem:
Ok, so I’ve had mild acne for a while now. Usually not very noticable, but every now and then I get those breakouts which REALLY suck. Deep ingrown pimples that get really red and large… ugh…
Anyway, I recently had a pimple on the left side of my face, on my chin, rught under the left side of my lip… a little bit lower than the corner of my mouth if you can picture the spot – pimples in this spot SUCK MAJOR! It’s a super sensitive area I guess and it gets really inflamed and red. I ended up popping it and it began to go away…
Ok, so anyway, that pimple had dissapeared for like half a week, but then the same spot just started getting red again!!! Why? I didn’t even see a pimple there! WTF David Blaine! It just randomly turned red, it’s like an inch in diameter, a kinda reddish oval… so I’ve been putting alo vera on it, and I’ve opened up some vitamin E capsules and used the juice inside, it seems to have lessened in redness a little bit… but not much
So basically what I’m wondering is: what is this red spot? Will it go away? If so, how can I make it go away faster?
Any advice you can offer is REALLY helpful – thanks : )
Oh and my email is TribeSpartan117@yahoo.com if you have any questions…
i am not sure but i do know if u put visine on the pimple it usually takes the red out also tooth paste helps dry them out. it may be not pimples could be hives it kind of sounds like that
what you are talking about may be something called a wheal or perhaps a carbuncle. I would go to my dermatologist and have it looked at. Call your Derm and have them tell you the secret word to get in right when the situation is near it’s worst time and they will get you in right away. Do not pick or squeeze it until you have seen your Dermatologist as it makes diagnosing these items difficult if not impossible.
UGH… I know exactly how you feel so your not alone well all i can say is don’t become a product of Instant gratification. Let it be don’t put anything on it for two days every morning and night before you go to bed take a clean wash cloth and let the cloth soak in hot water and let the cloth lay on your entire face for a couple of minutes just do the hot water only treatment for two days and if you don’t see results try Proactive its great also you can call your dermatologist and they can give you something
