To help shrink a pimple that’s under the skin, you can try the following steps:
1. Apply a warm compress: Soak a clean cloth in warm water and apply it to the affected area for about 10-15 minutes. This can help reduce inflammation and promote circulation to the area.
2. Use a spot treatment: Look for products containing ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or tea tree oil. These can help dry out the pimple and reduce its size.
3. Avoid squeezing or picking at the pimple: This can worsen inflammation and lead to scarring.
4. Maintain a good skincare routine: Cleanse your face gently, avoid using harsh products, and make sure to moisturize regularly.
5. Consult a dermatologist: If the pimple is persistent or causes discomfort, it’s best to seek professional advice and treatment.
Remember, results may vary depending on the individual and the severity of the pimple.
