Using toothpaste to get rid of pimples is a common home remedy. While toothpaste may contain ingredients like baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, menthol, and triclosan which could help dry out the pimple and reduce inflammation, it can also cause irritation, redness, and peeling of the skin due to its other ingredients like fluoride, sulfates, and fragrances. It’s important to consider that toothpaste is not formulated for use on the skin, so it’s better to use products specifically designed for acne treatment. If you have sensitive skin or if the pimple does not improve with toothpaste, it’s best to consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.
