Toothpaste can indeed help dry out a pimple due to some of its ingredients like baking soda or hydrogen peroxide, which have drying properties.
However, using toothpaste on pimples is not recommended as it can irritate the skin and cause more harm than good.
It’s best to use skincare products specifically formulated for treating acne.
