Salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to treat a cystic pimple?
Eνеrу two weeks οr ѕο I gеt аbουt 2-3 horribly bаd аnd painful cystic pimples. Thеrе′s one starting rіght now аnd I want tο know whats best tο treat іt wіth. I hаνе both salicylic acid аnd benzoyl peroxide available tο mе rіght now. Whаt ѕhουld I υѕе?
Salicylic acid has some anesthetic properties so it may help with the pain. It also loosens up the skin so depending on the product you use, it may help with the penetration of anti-bacterial agents contained in the product.
Benzoyl peroxide is actually an anti-bacterial agent itself. It won’t help with the pain. In fact, it’ll probably sting when you apply it.
Both are effective products for your situation but if pain is your biggest concern, I would go with Salicylic acid. And just FYI, these products are not safe for use during pregnancy.
The best way to find out what works best for you is to try each one out! Everyone’s skin is different and will react differently.
Good luck!
Both are effective if you are not pregnant.
HI,i had this problem from about 16 to 25 and still do i, have a big one on my face now(i am 51 now),first one for about a year and i know what caused it,eating from a takeaway or it was a meal my mother cooked when i visited last week.
For 9 years about EVERY 2 WEEKS i had a cystic pimple,the advice was—– don’t let your face get greasy,don’t use this soap, use—,don’t eat chips,chocolate etc,etc,etc, what i wanted and eventually got was prevention not cure,which i found without any help quite by chance,i hope you have the same as me,i can tell you the answer.
i stopped living at my parents house when i was 25 and my face cleared up totally.no more sticking a pin deep into the spot hoping i had the right area where the pus was and squeezing for 3 or 4 days and as it faded i would watch the next one appear.
when i left home my diet changed,usually chips every day as i had to fend for myself,my face became clear and took a healthy fresh look,it took about 2 years to discover the problem,it was a matter of elimination of what foods i ate,it wasn’t dairy products,red meats,fatty foods etc
i still see people in the supermarket with big spots buying these foods that contain these artificial ingredients you and me are allergic to.
tell me something,you say about every 2 weeks you get these pimples(the same as i used to get)
when you are say on holiday or away from home or not eating at a friends or relatives for a couple of weeks is your face clear, if you don’t go away try eating for a week only say chocolate,or bread or only chicken cooked at home nothing else,for breakfast lunch and supper(not from a takeaway or adding any sauce or flavoring what so ever) and drink only water.no tea or coffee,juice.cola etc
let me know how you got on,i hope i can help you
GOOD LUCK.

My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.
