Pimples?

Ugh. Horrible infected pimple on the outside...pretty positive it's "just" a pimple, nothing more exciting/alarming.
But how do you treat a pimple somewhere so close to your most sensitive bits?? :(

Hey there,

Just wanted to let you know (in case this was inadvertent) that you included what looks like your street address as your Current Location here in your post. Maybe that's something you did intentionally (no idea how that works myself!) but just in case it wasn't, I wanted to alert you.

cheers!

Heh, it WAS inadvertent, stupid iPhone app...but it was also WRONG. Cute, iphone, cute. *lol*

You could dab it with topical abx, but I treat those like new piercings, I leave them alone.

A hot compress with some salt in the water or a drop of tea tree oil will be soothing and help the pimple open and drain. A little neosporin on the pimple afterwards will help the infection, on top of keeping it clean.

Exactly what I was going to recommend. I find that tea tree oil works best for me. (:

I agree with the tea tree oil too! :D

Yep, this is my method as well! Hot compress, tea tree oil. And not picking at it.

Leave it alone pretty much, I would think it'd calm down in a day or two.
