![]() As for lactic acid and aha/bha, salicylic acid is included in those groups and has the same effect as lactic acid, so it shouldn’t be used in place of BP. The pimple will come to a head eventually, so just be patient. Hold this onto the skin for a few minutes, every few hours. Use an ice cube wrapped in a clean cloth to to help reduce inflammation, advises Dr Shetty. For future reference, never squeeze a cystic pimple because it will just become more irritated and painful. If the bump is swollen, using a cold compress can constrict the blood vessels helping to reduce the size of the spot. Also, cystic pimples seem to surface overnight as well so when that happens you can start putting benzoyl peroxide on it as well as the drying lotion (I recommend any spot treatment with BP in it, like Neutrogena On-The-Spot Treatment). Typically a warm compress would be used to bring the pimple to a head, which will be more useful later on when the cystic pimple is a day or more old (taking a warm shower has the same effect, so a warm compress normally isn’t needed very often). If you have no products to use, I would suggest using a cold compress to reduce the inflammation. A cold compress will help reduce swelling and inflammation by restricting blood flow around the area, whereas a warm compress will increase blood flow. ![]() The drying lotion contains salicylic acid which would be a good first step to getting rid of a cystic pimple because it helps to loosen up any of the dirt and gunk in the pimple.
