I’ve popped a pimple, and now it’s really irritated. Is there a way to heal it quickly?

To heal an irritated pimple quickly, you can try the following steps:
1. Clean the affected area gently with a mild cleanser and warm water.
2. Apply a spot treatment containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to reduce inflammation and kill bacteria.
3. Avoid picking or squeezing the pimple further, as this can worsen irritation and lead to scarring.
4. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and soothe the area.
5. Use a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated while it heals.
6. If needed, consult a dermatologist for further treatment options such as prescription medications or professional extraction.
Remember, healing times may vary, and it’s important to be patient as the skin regenerates.
