The first thought in many people, is to pop a pimple when they see it. Think this out, because if you try to pop a pimple before it is “mature”as it asks for an infection.

Continue applying gentle pressure until you see clear liquid or blood coming out of the pimple.

Soak one of the gauze pads in alcohol and gently clean the pimple and the area around it. You can expect it to sting a bit, but that just means the alcohol is doing its thing, cleaning and sterilizing the wound you created to empty the pimple. This will kill any remaining bacteria and help you avoid getting an infection. After you are done cleaning you can either cover the pimple with a small band-aid or you can use an anti biotic concealer to cover the remaining blemish.
