Redness and protruding white-headed bumps are common signs of a pimple. When the pimple becomes infected or begins to heal, it can itch. Proper skin care can alleviate the itch and prevent infection. When itching is intense, persistent or is accompanied by pus, a skin infection is likely to blame..u can apply clindamycin ointment on pimples... if problem persists consult your doctor
