I've been reading a lot of topics lately about those pimples that start out as a painful, no head zit, then develop into multiple heads. I've only seen someone with up to 7 heads, but this is where I'm kinda worried.
I've recently got one of these monsters, and it broke out into not 7. Not 10. But 14 white heads. (Yes, I sat and counted) Now I'm not too sure what to do, I don't think I should pop them, maybe a heat compress might help?
Advice would be appreciated, thank you.
Whatever you do don't pop them. That will just spread the infection and cause it to last longer and possibly spread. I wish I had taken my own advice because my acne is currently spread all around my mouth due to my constant picking.
I would just use a warm compress and let the pimples heal naturally. You could also try using a spot treatment overnight to help dry them up. I know it sucks to have whiteheads, but it is so much better to just get rid of it then spread the infection and cause scarring.
