Had Small Pimples On My Chest. Used Salicylic Acid. Now Have Large Red Spots. Time To Heal? Suggestions?
I had a couple small pimples on my chest. I applied salicylic acid on the spots and went to bed. When I woke up in the morning I had large red spots where I applied the acid on the pimple and one place that actually "ate" through my skin and now I have a small open area with dark red surrounding it. What should I do to help the progression of healing and how long should it take?

-healing of acne may differ from person to person and depend on several physical and personal factors.
Management play important role and include;
-proper cleaning
-avoid use of cosmetics
-avoid picking of pimple
-relaxation
-avoid constipation
-diet rich in salads and fruits
-face must be cleaned on returning from work and also changing from hot to cold places.
I hope this is helpful for you, thank you
