Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

The Dermatologist from Tyra Banks show says NO! If you must use something crash an aspirin and mix with water then put this paste on the pimple. Aspirin works wonders on swollen skin.

If you are having a burning sensation... then I would say NOT too! Plus toothpaste may leave your skin dried-out and irritated.
Try some over-the-counter on-the-spot acne treatment, like clean & clear or something.

You should NEVER put whitening toothpaste on your face, but other than that it should be fine left on overnight. As it dries it will definitely tingle/itch, but shouldn't burn.
If you're looking for something else to try, mash up some garlic and try that, or make a paste with ground radish seeds and water.

try aspirin instead..
take about four aspirin and dissolve them in a few drops of water.. add in a squirt of honey and make it into a paste.. you can also add in a few vitamin e capsules if ya like.. this can be used as a scrub, mask if left on for ten minutes, and a spot treatment left on over night.. it works like pro active.. i've used both and got the same result with each which is clear skin..
i hope this helps..

Toothpaste does not belong on a pimple. Don't do that. There are plenty OTC brands of creams you could try and also prescription brands that a dermatologist could prescribe.

I had watched it on tv and the doctors doesnt advice to put toothpate on our face esp. on pimples. Others put lipstick too. It is really not advisable.

do you use acne cream to brush your teeth.
dont know, but I would say use preparation H on only the spot the tube says to. Use toothpaste for your teeth, and get some clearasil.

I tried that once because I heard that it worked, but it only made it worse! Try an over the counter product.
