After popping a pimple, it’s important to clean the area with a gentle cleanser and apply a spot treatment containing ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to help reduce inflammation and prevent infection. Avoid picking at it further to minimize scarring, and consider applying a soothing, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep the area hydrated. If the area becomes red, swollen, or painful, it’s advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
