So I had this pimples two weeks ago, picked them and now they are not anymore full of puss but instead red marks that look very nasty. I tried to recover my skin using toothpaste, garlic, lemon juice and cucumber on them. Even aspirin mask.
However, they seem to heal very very slow. Anyone knows a better method to make these marks turn faster to the real skin color ? I dont know what to do because tomorrow I must go to a huge meeting and im full of red marks !
First of all, as I expect you know by now - don't pick if you can help it.
Secondly, try a honey and zinc mask to help with the general redness from irritation, but you may just need some concealer for now as the marks usually take around 6 months or so to fade depending upon the individual.
My personal allowances for popping pimples are if they are large whiteheads that are at the very top layer of the skin and ready to burst and/or if they are painful to the touch (NEVER cysts though, nomatter how painful, because you will traumatize your skin).
Unfortunately if they are still red at this point, they're most likely going to scar. They'll eventually fade. Using lemon juice on them a few times a week as a spot treatment can help.
