pimple on one side of face - #13688
I am super frustrated because I’ve got this pimple on one side of my face that just won't go away! It started out as this tiny bump like a week ago, but now it’s grown kinda big and red. Like, it’s really noticeable, especially when I’m in Zoom meetings! I’ve tried not touching it — you know, the whole “don’t pick at it” thing — but I keep seeing it in the mirror and freaking out. It’s only on one side of my face, which makes it even weirder! I’ve done some research and found that sometimes it could be hormones or maybe even stress? I’m kinda worried if it might be something more serious. My sister said she used some over-the-counter cream that helped with a pimple on one side of her face before, but every time I try something new, it seems like I’m just making it worse. Should I be using hot or cold compresses, or do I need to see a derm? Any ideas on home remedies that actually work?! Like, why does a pimple on one side of face have to feel like a mini crisis, right? Thanks for any help!
