Pimple on Lip Treatments

To get rid of a pimple on lip or lip acne, you will need to gather a few supplies .You will need warm water, medicated soap or a soap suitable for oily skin, a clean washcloth, cotton balls, astringent, cotton swabs and a bandage.

The first step is to soak the washcloth in hot water. Splash warm water onto your face, then lather the soap in your hands and apply it to your face, using your fingertips and working in gentle, circular movements. Wash the rest of your face before washing the lips, to stop transferring oil and bacteria to the spot. Wash the area with the lip pimple last using small, light motions. Repeat this process three times every day for several days.

Next take the hot washcloth and let it cool just enough so that it is comfortable on your skin. Place it directly on top of the lip pimple and apply gentle pressure for around 5 minutes. Using it as a hot compress reduces swelling and minimizes irritation to the skin.

Use a cotton ball to apply a mild astringent to the pimple on  lip. This will make sure all traces of bacteria have been removed. Avoid touching your face as often as possible. By continually touching your face you will be spreading germs around your face and transferring bacteria from your hands which will only increase the severity of the outbreak.

Have a regular regimen of cleaning your skin and face so that you can remove the excess particles of dirt and oil that clog your pores and lead to a pimple on lip  breakouts.
