For pimples, applying cold is generally recommended as it can help reduce inflammation and swelling. Cold compresses or ice packs can help soothe the skin and potentially reduce redness associated with pimples. Heat may worsen inflammation in some cases. However, it’s always best to consult with a dermatologist for personalized advice based on your skin type and specific situation.
