Acne is formed when the skin pores become clogged with the accumulation of dead skin cells and sebum, fatty material secreted by sebaceous (fatty) glands of the skin. When the infection occurs, the immune system will fight it off and the result are a pimple that is filled with pus, a mix of toxins and other bodily fluid. You have to be careful in dealing with this minor pimple infection, for you don't want it to become too serious. You want to keep if under control, you don't want the infected pimples to become bright red and painful to the touch.

If you want to get rid of these pimples on your face, make sure that they are at the mature stage where they are fully grown, with the big white head out. You don't want to pop those tiny pimples, they may cause more infection later. Before you proceed, make sure to wash your hands properly, have an antiseptic solution (solution containing benzoyl peroxide), gauze and long tipped needle ready. Now flame the needle to sterillize it then prick the pimple slowly to remove all the fluid and use the gauze to absorb the fluid from the pimple. Stop when you see blood coming out of the pimple. Use the benzoyl peroxide solution to clean the area afterwards. If for some reason the pimples have become seriously infected, consult a dermatologist who will prescribe some antibiotic creams to heal the acne pimples and reduce the formation of scars.
