HEAT OR ICE FOR ACNE...

TREATMENT FOR CYSTIC ACNE REDDING, CA   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Heat or ice for acne?  If the pimple is red go with the ice. If you have a cyst, or the pimple is deep without redness then apply a warm compress.

If the pimple or skin is inflamed, it has the potential to leave a dark mark. This is a scar-like formation termed post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or simply, PIH. Icing the pimple for 2 to 3 minutes twice a day will help prevent acne scarring.

Warm compresses help draw fluid to the surface. If the lesion is open, a warm compress will help facilitate drainage. Following with ice can help prevent PIH.
