acne marks? help please!?

Question

I tried getting rid of a blackhead, but it left a dark red mark. Will it stay there for a while? What can I do to get rid of it (right here @ home) :(

Answer 1

Ooh, I've been there! Bad news- it will be there for at least a few days now. Good news- if you don't fool with it anymore, it's not likely to leave a scar, as long as you didn't accidentally make it form a crater by popping it out with too much force. All you can do at this point is cover it up with makeup. I recommend Neutrogena concealer in the light-green color. It goes on green but when you blend it into the spot, the green will neutralize the redness and they'll cancel each other out. Also, that stuff has some salcylic acid in it, which is an acne-fighting ingredient, so it will help it go away faster. Luck!

Answer 2

lemon juice is a natural bleach, rub it along with suncreen when you go outside, or just put it on when you wake up and go to bed, also you could do this im not sure if it works though:

1/2 cup oatmeal
honey
plain yogurt
honey
lemon juice

put equal parts lemon juice, honey and yogurt, into a bowl with oat mean, keep adding till paste, rub on face and wash off after 10 minutes

this one works:

put non-dried lavener and a small amount of water f(just enough to dampen, fill with the lavender) in a jar and put the lid on tight, heat water to 149 degrees f or 65 degrees c (use a thermometer) it doesnt have to be perfect, and set the jar in try to mantain the heat for 15 minutes, keep the jar in, let it cool off and take the lavender out, strain it and get all the oil out possible, rub the oil on your face
