Have I Burnt My Pimple With Benzoyl Peroxide Or Does It Look Like It's Dried Out And Starting To Heal?

Hello

I have sorted out the majority if my acne over the years but still have large blind pimples pop up from time to time.

 

I have one on my cheek at the moment that is hard and red and doesn't have a head. I have been putting BP 5% on 3-4 times a day just on the pimple for the past 5 days. It has now gone bright red and has a hard crust over it. Do I continue treating it with BP or leave it alone now?

no i dont girl.. dont worry ok. the same thing happened to me about a month ago and then it caused my whole face to break out and now one bump went to lots of bumps like that. worrying only makes things worse. be patient. it will go in about a few weeks. u didnt even need to put bp on it. pimples like that acne doesnt help. only time and maybe taking ibuprofen or icing. but leave it alone now

 

 

if u get a bump like that again just go to derm and get a cortisone injection...
