I have 3 on my chin area but I know what thats from. When im stressed thats where they pop out.

i have the same problem, usually one on the chin and one near the hairline. usually happens when aunt flo is about to come in town! i think the best thing to do is to treat it and not irritate it. The bump on the chin came again this month and it was hard, but i left it alone. whta do you know, it went right away 2 days later!

Do you try to pick or pop the pimples? That spreads infection and can push the infection deeper into the skin, causing breakouts in the same place. Try to leave that area alone and use an anti-bacterial. I have used Mint Julep mask before on pimples to keep from messing with them.

yeah, exactly. if you pick the area you're making it prone to future break outs so definately try to keep your hands off.. very tough for me! sometimes they just look like they're screaming '' pop me, pop me! ''.. lol

If you go to the derm, they can give you a shot in that spot to get rid of the recurring pimples.. I think it's about $50... I've never done it, but I've considered it! I used to have this recurring pimple on the same exact spot on my forhead for sooo long. It was one of the painful deep ones too!

How often a day can you apply the tea tree oil?

Ditto!
I love tea tree oil; it's really good for pimples even annoying and painful cystic acne.

[4getmeNot]

Is it better to use pure tea tree oil..or the kind like Body Shop's blemish tea tree stick? or does it matter? what is a good tea tree cleanser?

[posterofagirl]

Where can you find the oil?

[Nicolet]

I recommend the Tea Tree Oil, too! I love that stuff. Right now, I am adding a few drops to my cleanser to help kill the bacteria in my pores. I use Clinique's Mild Soap, which is fine and gentle but doesn't do much to help fight zits. So I just lather up, and add a drop of Tea Tree. Sometimes, if I feel a pimple trying to pop up, I'll apply it directly onto my skin. This can be a bit harsh, you may also dilute it a bit with water.

Another thing you can do with Tea Tree oil is to add a drop to your toothpaste. This will naturally help kill the nasty bacteria in your mouth, without using chemicals.

Hmmm...i'm just thinking.

If you put honey on it, would it cause the pimple to form a white head, and then eventually escape from being held within the skin?
I know that if you put honey on some bumps it causes the pus to rise to the top. You might have a bad pimple for a week, but then once it is gone it will be gone?

That is my logic. Do it in a week where you haven't any special events/people to see.

the acv gets my vote also! i just dab the spot with some acv on a qtip and by morning that baby is toast! the key for me is to catch it before it breaks through.

I think this thread needs a friendly Bump!

great thread. '' you cannot cure acne but, you can make it look better ''... haha, that's kinda depressing.. but, at least we can do something about it.
