Unlike common acne pimples, blind pimples do not come to a head. This means that unlike acne pimples where you can easily see the white or black head of the pimple, a blind pimple causes a swelling which does not come to head but rather remains a flesh coloured bump. Although you will be sorely tempted to squeeze a blind pimple, doing so will not help you and will just be painful.
Do not prick it with a needle (even if you have sterilised the needle), this will not help at all and will only serve to leave it open to further infection. In addition, it will damage the skin tissue and definitely increase your chances of scarring.
You can use a hot compress repeatedly which will cause the pimple to come to a head and burst.
Although this will not be very pleasant, it will allow the pimple to drain completely and heal naturally. If you have oily skin, you can dip a small cotton pad in apple cider vinegar and apply it to the pimple for a few minutes. Do not use this method of treatment if you have dry or sensitive skin as it will cause flaking and irritation. You can dip an ear bud in tea tree oil and apply it to the pimple.
