Suggest Remedies For A Spot On The Face After Popping A Pimple
today i have a regular looking pimple on my face and i decided to pop it and once i did it lots of blood started coming out. it stopped bleeding and after i saw that there was a large red spot in the place where the pimple was and it s been there for 2 hours now. i m kinda scared that the spot won t go away, any suggestions or advice that can t help my skin go back to normal color. Thank You! note: i have almost no pimples on face and i don t have a lot of experience with this stuff.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The redness will reduce, it is part of the body's inflammatory response to trauma (squeezing) and also due to the infection (the pimple).
It can take a few days for the redness to decrease, in some cases up to a week.
Applying a topical antibiotic twice daily may help it to resolve faster.
I hope this helps
