There are several ways you can try to shrink a pimple. You can apply an over-the-counter acne treatment with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to help reduce inflammation and dry out the pimple. You can also apply a warm compress to the area to help open up the pore and reduce swelling. Avoid picking or squeezing the pimple, as this can make it worse and lead to scarring. Lastly, maintaining a good skincare routine with gentle cleansers and moisturizers can help prevent future breakouts.
