Dr. Garekar's Pimple Patch Magic: Secret Weapon Against Acne!

Dr. Garekar, a dermatologist, recently shared a helpful skin care hack: a pimple patch. If you're wondering how, when, and why to use these patches, you've come to the right place!

What Is a Pimple Patch?

A pimple patch is a small adhesive that helps treat pimples. These patches are usually made with a special substance called a hydrocolloid that helps the wound heal faster. Ingredients such as salicylic acid or tea tree oil also have some synthetic properties.

How to Use a Pimple Patch

Wash your skin: Start by washing your face gently to remove dirt and oil. Make sure your skin is dry before applying the patch.

Apply dressing: Attach the patch directly to the wart. Make sure it covers the entire area.

Leave: Turn the patch on for 6 to 8 hours, or even overnight for best results.

Take it off slowly: When it's time to take it, you can't take it too soon. This can damage your skin. Instead, remove it slowly and carefully, perhaps to make it easier during a hot bath.

Time to Use Pimple Patch

Pimple patches work well on small red pimples that are full of pus. They are not effective on whiteheads, blackheads, or nodulocystic acne. So, if you detect any bumps growing, now is the time to get a patch!
