Her first ever pimple, natural treatments?

[Manhattan]

Oh poor little thing.

Tea tree oil is very good, will help dry them out. Use it morning and night, no need to rinse off.

On another note, are you sure they're not school sores? When i was in year 8, I had what i thought was 2 pimples on my chin, and they turned quite nasty, so mum took me to the drs who said they were actually school sores, and gave me an ointment to treat them.

Hth

oh lisa your little one is growing up.

tea tree oil is great just dab it on and leave it.

Thanks for the replys everyone.

I never thought of using tea tree oil, i actually have some here, so i might give that a go.
I will definalty go to the body shop and try there stuff as well, as i thinkit will be good if she can have it in her bag and apply when ever she feels the need.

I have heard about using toothpaste on a pimple but when i tried it my self it stung a little, but i may try the bi carb and see what thats like also.

Manhattan, im not sure what school sores look like, but it did definatly look like a pimple, had a yellow head on it. I might google and see if i can find a pic.

Yeah kel, she may be 8 in age, but she looks so grown up and is quite mature in her age, for most things, she still has the 8 yr old tantrums though, lol.

She is in my eyes, very attractive, the rest of her face is clean of any blemishes, so another reason why she is having a freak out, tbh she is freaking out more over having a pimple than she is over getting body hair or af, lol

Yeah, the face wash will really help make sure all the makeup is off. It's nice and foamy (lasts AGES) and gentle xoxoxo

big my dd was so exited and wore hers with pride she always has a few under the skin now.

Lulu, Sounds like a good idea, at the moment she just uses a wet wipe to remove the make up, and i have wondered about it clogging up her pores, i definatly think a trip to the body shop is in order, but until i get there, i will try the tea tree oil.
Im supprised with all the make up she wears for dance that she hasnt had a pimple earlier.

Squidipa, i wish she would wear it with pride, she is so confident on stage, but when it comes to body apperence, she has some issues, she has dark hair on her arms, and gets teased about it from 1 girl who is pale skined, i dont know why kids have to be so mean.

Someone recommended rosehip oil to me to combat pimples... more a preventative measure than healing ones that have already popped up. You're supposed to use just a drop or two and massage it into your skin, all over your face once a day.

Good luck with it, my goodness kids grow up quick these days!! I was just saying to DH the other day that I'm petrified my girls will be getting AF before they turn 10, the way things are going these days!! I saw a little girl the other day (she couldn't have been more than 10 or 11) who had hips and boobs already - I was like poor kid.

My very first pimple was also right in the middle of my chin..hehe thought i was so grown up...boy i didn't realise what i was in for....

I second the Tea Tree suggestion..it's FABULOUS

Tea tree oil will sting a bit too if the pimple has become an open wound sort of thing, so just watch that too!

Poor love, pimples are the pits!
