Does toothpaste help get rid of pimples?

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

i got like the rocky mountains of pimples on my lower left chin and i was wondering if putting toothpaste there will sorta get rid of it.

Someone said that it will dry it up and make it disappear but...well...i'm sorta skeptical

I know that toothpaste stops itching.

it sounds like it would burn

well...all i know is that it stings your eyes too

just go to the store and for two or three bucks get a tube of acne cream. you can get it to match your skin tone too, so you don't have to say you brush your chin.

i tried that! i used oxy, clearasel, none of them work. i even have a perscription cream that burns the heck outa my face so i just stopped using that once my face started turning red. now i'm on perscribed pills. which is helping out a lot but not enough. i think i'm getting the acne from getting shot in the forhead too much lol.

Wash that area daily with a rough washrag and clearasil face wash or some other facial cleanser. Don't pop the zits, either, as that can drive the infection deeper and thus take much longer to get rid of. If you've got serious acne problems, then go see a dermatologist.

Toothpaste, in my opinion, does not help, while washing your face daily with facial cleanser and using a rough washrag does wonders (cleans face by washing it and also the rough rag gets rid of dead skin and other loose and possibly pore-clogging material such as buildup from the pimple) if you make it a habbit.

I did that back in the day when I had a bad problem, it actually seemed to work

Popping zits is so much fun.. its like *pop* yeah thats right you dirty not allowed to say it here! Its so satisfying.
Nothing works for me either. I just pop them and I have all these bloody scars on my face. I bet you can imagine, all the women swarm around me
Zits suck arse.

Bah.

I've tried almost every medication possble. I also tried acutane for a few months but I started getting sever side effects and had to quit it. Acutane is THE BEST way to get rid of pimples and stuff, but it dries up yous skin a lot and sometimes the side effects are bad.

Now I'm trying that dermabrasion stuff. I think thats what it's called. The lady called what she did to me a "chemical peel" I think. It stung like hell and dried my skin up for a day or two, but I haven't noticed anything happening.
