Did you know that in the dermatology world there are two types of inflamed pimples?

PAPULE: This type of pimple appears swollen and red   due to inflammation.

PUSTULE: This type of pimple has a red/inflamed base with a white/yellowish pus filled cap.

The first step in treating papules and pustules is to calm the inflammation. Applying ice twice a day will help reduce the pain and inflammation, and help prevent scarring and red or brown marks on the skin.
