Deep Under the Skin Pimples
Posted: 08-06-05 09:22am

Mmk, well this happens to every with pimples i'm sure. You know when you can feel a painful bump deep under your skin.. Like on your chin or forehead, but it hasen't formed into a pimple.. And you can't really notice it except it might be a little red? Well I know those suckers can turn into a pretty nasty pimple if you touch or push them.. So i've learned the hard way and I never touch them now..

What I was wondering if there was a way to prevent them from.. 'forming.'? I use proactive and my skin is very clear most of the time, with a couple of not very noticeable pimples here and there when that time of the month comes...

I found vitamin e works very well for a number of things, but would that help... Since it's still deep under the skin?

I suppose i'll just keep using my proactiv.. Can't hurt. I just want to avoid getting a nasty pimple =(

thanks for the help!

Same I dont really have any acne, but once in awhile I get a deep uder the skin pimple, and let me tell you I have learned the hard way too. I found it helps a lot to run the sink until the water is as hot as it can go and just wet a tissue and hold it to the area, and keep doing it, and make sure the water is as hot as possible. It seems to help a lot, and ususally the swelling will go down , and it doesn't turn into a catastrophe.

Get a good astringent, put some on a q tip and hold it there after you put hot water on it. I know for me, most pimples like that are more just oil then anything else and the astringent dries it out. Just be careful if you have dry skin that you don't put it all over your face!

I read the article about putting hot water on your face! AHH nooo...please dont do that. That will do more harm than good. If you want to help your skin do these things twice a day...
1. Wash your face
2. Use a good astringent
3. Moisturize
Now if you have really oily skin use a water based cleanser and not a oil based. The same for moisturizer. If you want to pop zits heres what you do...wash your face...then use a gentle exfoliator, then gently with a qtip in each hand put the qtip on each side of the pimple and wiggle it up and down then squeeze towards it. Repeat twice, if it doesnt budge, its not ready to pop.
