neosporin...not just for cuts
Now, I totally know that I shouldn't have tried to pop it. It's not good and all, it'll scar, and blah blah blah...but pick at it I did.
Nothing came of it except for me making it madder and uglier. Plus, I definitely did some damage to the skin on top (again sorry).
It basically looked way worse than when I started.
Stupid me.
So, at this point, I couldn't really put anything on it without looking ridiculous and probably hurting like crazy. Ugh.
Then it hit me.
It's basically a wound, right?
Why not slab a little Neosporin on it and see what happens.
So that's what I did.
Then, I am not kidding here, a little while later the swelling and redness started to go down. By evening it was looking even tinier and way less on the crimson side.
A couple of days later...it was gone*.
Done.
Kaput.
Love it.
Do you have any pimple tips you'd like to share? If so, leave a comment below.
*Now, I'm not saying it'll work for severe cases and if yours is bad enough you might want to see a derm...but it did the trick for me.

Haha yes I use it too! I had the same thinking as you, and it seems to work great!
LOL - love the honesty in this - so true!
It's the anti-bacterial power of the Neosporin that took care of the zit. A pimple is just an infected pore, so that's why it worked for you. I also use a mix of lavender and bergamot essential oil. Really good anti-bacterial properties!
i've been using this for years!
I am so happy other people do this too! When I get a really terrible one sometimes I put some decolorized iodine on it too!
