Redness and dark spot after a Pimple
I had a pretty big pimple on my cheek around 2 weeks back. I had applied toothpaste and ice for a week. The pimple subsided but the yellow part ( dried pus ) came off while washing my face.
Though since last week the pimple has gone but redness and a little bit of dark spot is persistent.
It has been around 10 days that this redness is not gone.I have applied ice, over the top creams but to no avail.
Kindly help me with removal of this redness.
Thanks in advance.

The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please call me or send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.
