I extracted some whiteheads last night, nothing major, and put some benzoyl peroxide on them, usually works and clears them up in a day or two. This morning the whiteheads were a bit swollen, (I've had cysts before and this did not feel the same) kinda wide, red but not painful. Later in the day the former white heads doubled in size. I freaked and went to a clinic, they gave me a weeks worth of antibiotics for skin infections. Still not totally sure what is going on, pretty sure the are not cysts, never had this happened before. Any guesses?
Most likely you burn your skin with benzoyl peroxide
its best to apply isopropyl alcohol as antiseptic before and after extraction
for future apply lavender essential oil on pimples and they'll go away on its own
Drink herbal teas to heal and prevent future acne
honeybrush, mint, nettle, red raspberry leaves, milk thistle, burdock, lavender
dont use at the same time with drugs
