Hot & Sweaty Beauty Dr. Teo Wan Lin & Dr.TWL Pharmacy

How do you stop a pimple from getting worse? Any quick fixes?Pimples are quite nightmarish for those who suffer from it. Women with adult acne dread the menstrual flare-ups of acne.

Here are a few key pimple remedies to bear in mind- and also some to avoid:

Do: use a non-irritating plant based pimple cream both for treatment and prevention such as the Blemish Spot Cream. If the pimple is draining pus, use a warm compress to gently express the pus without squeezing. The best time is right after a warm shower. If your pimple wont go away after 2 weeks or more, you may have a cyst. Acne cysts are best treated with steroid injections by your dermatologist.

Don’t: use retinoids on active pimples. This is not well known, and many purportedly are told by non-dermatologist doctors ie. beauty doctors, aesthetic doctors and beauticians that they should use retinoids on all acne. Retinoids can cause severe and worsening inflammation on active acne. Generally, dermatologists advise to use retinoids over acne-prone areas, and to avoid directly over inflamed pimples. Rather, if necessary, your dermatologist may prescribe topical steroid lotions to quickly quell inflammation. These are meant only for short term use as they can cause steroid acne.

Sunscreen only helps prevent sunburns. Fact or myth?



Myth. Sunscreen doesn't just prevent sunburns. In fact, many asians belonging to the skin of colour category don't sunburn easily. This is because melanin in the skin can protect from UV radiation. However, this doesn't eliminate the risk of skin cancers so if you are looking at sunburns only to judge your risk of skin cancer, you are only partially correct.



The accumulated UV exposure over your entire lifetime increases the risk of skin immune suppression. This means that your skin cells cannot repair damaged DNA as effectively as you grow older. Eventually besides wrinkles and dark spots, there is also an increase risk of skin cancer.
