To prevent a pimple from getting worse, you can try the following steps:
1.
Cleanse your face gently with a mild cleanser to remove any dirt or oil.
2.
Apply a spot treatment containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to the affected area.
3.
Avoid picking or squeezing the pimple, as this can worsen inflammation and lead to scarring.
4.
Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and redness.
5.
Keep your skin moisturized and hydrated.
6.
Avoid touching your face with dirty hands.
7.
Maintain a healthy diet and drink plenty of water.
If the pimple does not improve or becomes painful, consider consulting a dermatologist for further treatment options.
