Her first ever pimple, natural treatments?

[Anila]

Well my dd is now 8, along with some pubic hair she has now gotton her first ever facial pimple, right in the middle of her chin, and wow its a biggy.

Last week at school everything was fine, no one said anything to her, it wasnt mentioned at all except for me, saying what it was and explaining not to touch it.

Well by accident she wiped her jumper along her chin to remove some water she spilled, and it ruptured the pimple, so i told her to leave it and not touch it.

It formed a little scab, and all was fine till dance class last night when she came home in tears, as several girls had asked her what it was, when i asked why she was upset she said "i feel uncomfortable telling them it was a pimple", it was quiet raised, but as it was so late at night i left it as she was so upset, and had asked to have the day of school, i said no, but suggested maybe i could put some dance foundation over it in the morning. She agreed.

So this morning i go to put some foundation over the scab to find that not only was there a scab, but under it was yet again another massive yellow pimple, in the same spot.
She started to freak out and wanted me to get rid of it, so not wanting to squeeze it, i slid a pin in to drain it, and make it less noticable, it was very full of gunk, but she ws happy and we put foundation over it, i highly doubt this is the end of this pimple, as i could see it still has stuff in it.
And i just know when there is 1 there will be more..

So at age 8 what is safe to use on her face to prevent or treat any futher pimple brake outs?
I would prefer to use a natural product, but open to any suggestions.

She also wears a lot of make up due to her dancing, so i know this wont help any other pimples.

toothpaste - dab some one it

or

bicarb soda mixed with a little water to make a paste & dab it on

Either one, leave on 5-10 mins & it will dry it out

The Body Shop has these ti tree blemish sticks. Like a pen and you dab it on the pimple, very good.
They also have a Ti Tree facial wash that I used to recommend for young skin, I would have a look at that for her too xoxoxoxo

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

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!
