How To Get Rid of Pimples: Common Acne Fighting Ingredients with Insider

Dr. Michele Green was featured in three Insider articles this week, one titled “How to get rid of pimples fast: Your guide to 5 acne-fighting ingredients” along with “Why you’re getting pimples on your scalp and how to treat them, according to dermatologists” and “7 causes of pimple-like bumps on your penis, according to doctors” – where in the first two she mentions a few common acne fighting ingredients – such as if you’re just trying to get rid of a pimple or two, Dr. Green recommends opting for a spot treatment or gel containing benzoyl peroxide.  However if you have sensitive skin, sulfur might be an option, as this “is a little less irritating than benzoyl peroxide.”

As for Scalp based pimples, “scalp acne may look and feel like a normal pimple that’s located around the hairline or on the scalp under the hair. It can appear as a single patch of pimples or several patches, and can even affect your entire scalp,” says Dr. Green, in the second Insider article.
