How Do I Get Rid Of Acne Once It Turns Into A Scab?

If the pimple has already scabbed over if you picked it you just need to wait for it to heal. You really are not supposed to pick acne because it causes scarring and pushes the pus further down into thee pore and it takes longer to heal. If you want the swelling of a pimple to go down try putting some toothpaste on it and leave it on for awhile and then take it off. It actually does make the swelling go down i have tried it before.

NO!  don't use toothpaste because it dries your skin out and makes your face peel at pints like on your nose chin and forehead and you get red patches too ..  Use sudocreme lol  it says on the tub sutible for acne too,  im  15  so prone to teen-zone spots  but i put sudocreme on my face everynight before i go to bed and underneath any make-up i wear (its a good base)  and  i rarely get any spots.. If i do they're gone the next day... So i would give that a shot if i were you, as it will heal your spots overnight and fade the scab making you less likely to pick them too!

Using sudocreme is good.... But your skin can become immune to the effects...i am 16 n a model, you are told NOT to pick spots and wash your face with un-perfumed soap and half a teaspoon of salt..it really works..DO NOT use toothpaste it just makes it worse!

Hiya Hun, i had a spot on my face by my chin for about 3 weeks and it just wouldnt go away! I got so annoyed at it that i just picked  @ it and it became a scab! 3 weeks later the scab had still not gone! I tried toothpaste and tht was the worst mistake as it made it go dry and wrinkly and made it look even worse! I eventually put antiseptic cream on it every morning and before i went to bed i used sudocream! It reduced the scab overnight and it had completely gone in 5 days of putting sudocream on it! Take this advice and DO NOT use tooth paste otherwise you look like a 90 yrs old! Lol! Good luck! Xxx
