How do I reduce acne and surrounding skin redness?
I am a middle-aged male and have a ridiculously huge (cystic) acne on my neck. I take antibiotics for acne and use a prescription cream at night, but this one was only getting bigger. So at work the other day I bout a clean & clear acne spot treatment which ive used successfully in the past and applied.
Just my luck, it made my pimple and the surrounding area bright red and has been so for over 48 hours now. I have washed the area several times, tried using Visine and icing the area as suggested in other people's answers. I have also tried toothpaste. Nothing has seemed to work.
I wish I could go back in time to when the pimple was the only problem, now the redness of my neck brings even more attention to it. I am not against using some kind of cover-up, but as a guy I have no idea what to buy and am too self-conscious to ask someone (including the people who sell makeup lol) Please for the love of god, someone help!

I used to have horrible acne I can’t even tell you how bad it was. I found http://www.StopMyAcne.Info and bought it it seriously cured my acne.
Like seriouslyits gone . I don’t even have one pimple
After using this I can’t believe it’s only cheap and after you use it you won’t either hahaThe trips I took to the dermatologist cost me WAY more than that lol and the CRAP they gave me just made my acne worse~!!!!! uhggg… lol
Oh and it also guarantees it will cure your acne in 3 days or your money back.

The juice of raw green papaya (including the skin and seeds) is very beneficial for swelling pimples or acne. The fresh juice of apricots applied to your face is very good for sunburns, exzema, itching and as a natural cystic acne treatment. Since you have it on your neck, you could still try this.
