ICE OR HEAT FOR MY PIMPLES...

HOW TO HEAL ACNE AUBURN, CA   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Heat or ice for breakouts?  If the pimple is red go for the ice. If you have a cyst, or the pimple is deep without any redness then go for the heat.

If the pimple or surrounding skin is inflamed, it has the potential to hyperpigment. This is a scar-like formation looks like a dark mark, and is termed post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or PIH. Icing the inflamed pimple for 2 to 3 minutes twice a day will help prevent acne scarring.



Warm compresses help draw fluid to the surface. If you have a cyst, deep pimple, or the lesion is open, a warm compress will help facilitate drainage. Following with ice will help decrease your chances of PIH.
