I heard today that if you put rubbing alcohol on a pimple that it will clear it up. Is that true, because I don't want to try it and start breaking out?
ill_help_321 answered Thursday August 23 2007, 8:04 pm: yes it does help! but the way it helps is it drys it out and so it goes away! but make sure you put lotion on your face regularly so your whole face won't dry up! hope it helps! [ ill_help_321's advice column | Ask ill_help_321 A Question ]

If you get a product designed specially for acne, it won't dry out as bad.
