Popped Pimple, Bleeding, Swelling. Using Turmeric, Zinc, Fish Oil. Will Neem, Guggul Help?
I have popped a pimple but only blood came out. Now it s red and swollen. I clean it hydrogen peroxide and put neosporin on it. I also would like to go back on the ortho tri cyclin lo it seemed to help me. But I have high cholestorl , I smoke and I m 35 years old. Was on minoxyclin it helped. Butbenn off it now. I m taking orally turmeric, zinc, vitamin a and d, fish oil and biotin . Every day I have a salt/extra virgin olive oil scrub, that seems to help. What do you think about adding neem or guggul?
