what to apply on pimple - #16125

Aadhya

I am really frustrated with this stubborn pimple that’s been hanging around on my face for like a week now. It all started out of nowhere; I just woke up one morning and boom! There it was, right on my cheek. I tried washing my face with my usual cleanser, but it just didn’t help. Now I’m just wondering what to apply on pimple to make it go away. I don’t want to squeeze it because I read that can make it worse, but it’s super red and starting to swell a bit and feels like it’s even getting bigger. I’ve used some over-the-counter spot treatments, but they don’t seem to work as fast as I’d like. Also, I heard a lot of people talking about tea tree oil or even some benzoyl peroxide stuff. Is that really effective? I want to be careful and not damage my skin or end up with a scar. Like, seriously, what to apply on pimple that won’t make it worse or cause my skin to break out more? I kinda feel like crying over this. I just want my face back to normal before the weekend! Any advice would be seriously appreciated!
