I recently got a few pimples on only one side of my neck. Does anyone know what the cause is and how to get rid of / also prevent them?

I usually have pretty clear skin – just a couple of hormonal pimples.

Thanks!

I’m only 13 and I have pimples on my chest. It’s so irritating! I’m scared I would still have pimples when I have my 8th grade promotional. I can’t wear any shirts that reveal my chest. I put Johnson’s Baby Powder 99% Cornstarch and it sometimes dries up, but there are still little brown spots every where on my chest. PLEASEE HELP!

A big pimple appearing on the face the day of a big event is likely to be distressing. Pimple on your back, though out of sight, are painful. No one wants to be plagued with pimples anywhere. There is no need to suffer unnecessarily. You can get rid of pimples and with proper care, keep the breakouts minimal.

A pimple begins in a pore of your skin. A healthy pore is clean and unblocked. The problem begins when dead skin cells and oil clog up your pore. Bacteria then breeds in the mix causing an inflammation or irritation which we see as a pimple. That is why you should not pick your pimples as you can end up spreading the bacteria, leading to more pimples.

Your skin is not without its defense. It has an acid mantle that bacteria finds inhospitable. However, when you wash your face, you also wash away that layer of protection and your skin takes half to one hour to regenerate that protection. It then makes sense to use a moisturizer or toner after washing your face, to restore your skin’s protection.

That said, to get rid of pimples, you have to unclog the pores and keep a layer of protection to deter bacteria from building up.

The best way to unclog your pores is to exfoliate. It could be a physical exfoliation via a grainy scrub, or a chemical one using AHA or salicylic acid to dissolve the ‘glue’ that makes the dead skin cells stick to the pore walls. Go for something gentle so you do not irritate your skin further.

Next, you need to kill the bacteria. Did you know you could go to your family doctor to get your acne and boils treated? He would typically prescribe an antibiotic cream and a course of antibiotics. That works because when the bacteria responsible for the inflammations is eliminated, your pimples and boils would go a way. The problem with pimples is that after you finish the antibiotics and if your immune system is still unable to control the bacteria growth on your skin, the pimples would return. A long term course of antibiotics stretching over months might not appeal to everyone.

There are other ways to get rid of the bacteria. Over the counter preparations and acne treatments from Clinique, Clarins and other beauty brands are effective too. Some of the ingredients to look out for include benzoyl peroxide which is found on many of the cheaper over the counter acne preparations. What benzoyl peroxide does is to force oxygen into the pore making it inhospitable for bacteria to live in, killing the acne bacteria which hates oxygen. Salicylic acid is another ingredient that works by unclogging the pores. Tea tree oil kills the bacteria outright. These are just some of the possible ingredients you might find in your acne preparations.

For boils, applying a drop of tea tree oil on each boil every 2 hours may be enough to kill the bacteria and bring down the boil. But don’t fool around with boils. These can develop into abcesses which may need surgery, so see the doctor as soon as possible if you have a boil.

It is true treating pimples needs both patience and persistence, but sometimes time is the thing you are short of. You desperately need them off your face at any cost; the world seems almost cruel otherwise. You almost feel like tearing your hair out thinking of how to get rid of pimples overnight and it is for situations like these that there are over the counter drugs and ointments.

However, just using medicines will not relieve you of the pimples, there are rules you have to follow to make it work out right. There are Dos and Do nots and always remember some things are better left alone, messing with them is not advisable. For example, if you think the easiest way out of your ordeal would be to pop your zits, you are definitely wrong.

Most of the time, overnight pimple cures are just an overblown phrase because an overnight cure for pimples is almost impossible to devise without a change in your lifestyle. Especially if you are used to having a stressful life and you have a biased diet. Try to make it a balanced one including food that would also make it into a cleansing diet. Talking of cleansing, there is no substitute for water, thus make drinking 8-10 glasses of water each day a part of your daily routine.

Tips for overnight cure

Some home remedies however can rid you of pimples sometimes overnight and even if not overnight by not more than half a day.

You could use the white of an egg to dab on your pimple. Once left on for around 20 minutes it usually helps and dries up the pimple. Another unique method would be to apply toothpaste; preferably not the gel type on the pimple and it has the same effect.

Cleaning the skin is an essential part of curing pimples and the cleaning needs special care when you need to cure pimples overnight. If you wash your face with a soap enriched with aloe vera it can help you immensely. You could also try cleaning your skin with apple cider vinegar, or a more simple remedy would be to clean it with lemon juice.

Before you start any pimple remedy, you must be sure that the acne is not caused due to an allergic reaction to any food or cosmetics. The cure could otherwise have an adverse effect on the acne.

Your skin is unique and different from everyone else’s and therefore you should remember that what works for someone else might not work for you and vice versa. Therefore, it would be advisable if you try out the different methods beforehand to know which one suits you.

You could also pay your family physician a visit, who might just as well recommend you to a dermatologist. Both the doctor and the dermatologist might have ideas that would truly rid you of that pimple overnight.

Homemade Quick Fixes for Curing Pimple

Try not to squeeze or fiddle with your pimple because this in return is only going to worsen things up. Remember, the last thing you do not wish to have is a scar.

Using ice pack is the best you can do to reduce swelling, redness and above all pain of the affected area. If you have no time to spare and in absolute hurry then go in for the skin colored concealer that can temporarily, camouflage the pimples.

You can also avail homemade remedies to your benefit.

Have you tried your hands at the mixture of about half teaspoon of camphor lotion, half teaspoon of tomato juice and one teaspoon of honey that can take off scars caused by pimples?

A mixture of groundnut oil and limejuice is another option for you. Rosewater with a same quantum of cucumber paste should be on your remedy list to counter pimples.

When I say an excellent cleansing agent, what I mean to say is a mix of garlic juice with 3 parts water.

Pimples simply disappear when raw garlic is rubbed on the affected area. Every household does have toothpaste, but did you know that toothpaste could help dispose pimples overnight?

Preventive Medication for Pimple Cure

Always remember, cleansing your skin with soap or acne cleanser twice daily is a must do thing. And you cannot do without an ointment rich in benzyl peroxide or salicylic acid that guarantees a blemish free skin.

It is recommended to use oil,free makeup if you cannot do without make up.

Drinking water is the best thing you can do to keep your skin in the pink. Bear in mind that water is a magic potion that your skin needs.

For drying up your skin indulge in the calamine lotion. Before going to bed, all that your skin needs is a bit of cleaning with astringent and the final addition goes with calamine lotion.
