Ingrown pimple

July 26th, 2009

Ingrown pimples are annoying. They hurt, plain and simple. Acne is caused in part by hair follicles, when you get a pimple that coincides with an ingrown hair, an ingrown pimple can form.

One of the “catch 22’s” about ingrown pimples is that they can continue to pop up over and over again if you do not take care of the situation.

The best way to treat an ingrown pimple is also free and easy! Apply hot water, as hot as your face will allow, to a rag, then hold the rag against the effected area. This will help to heal up the ingrown pimple and it should help you avoid having any ingrown pimples in the future in that spot.

Trying to pick at the ingrown pimple/hair is not a really good idea for three reasons. One, it won’t do anything to help your situation, even in the short term. Two, it will hurt, a LOT! Three, you could leave yourself with an acne scar and could increase your chances of getting an ingrown pimple again in that area.
