Reader question: How do you get a pimple to come to a head quickly?
@opposumpooka
Ever get a deep-rooted pimple that has no head but feels like an immovable mountain?
A blind pimple is classified as a “papule,” i.e., a superficial raised red lump.
At this point, your skin gland is engorged, swollen, and hardened by oil clogging.
Your approach should be gently coaxing all that gunk and bacteria to the surface.
Unfortunately, there’s no magic trick to making a blind pimple disappear in a few minutes.
The smallerpimple versionwill do the same thing to help pull out all that gunk.
Facing a deeper cystic pimple?
