When dealing with a blind pimple, applying ice can help reduce inflammation and numb the area, which may provide some relief. Ice can also help decrease swelling and redness. However, some individuals find that gentle heat can also be beneficial as it helps increase blood flow to the area, which can promote healing.

It is recommended to first try applying ice wrapped in a clean cloth or a cold compress for about 10-15 minutes at a time, several times a day. If you do not find relief with ice, you may consider using a warm compress to see if it helps.
