pimple turned purplish

by kay070213, Sep 23, 2008 10:46PM
I got a pimple about a week ago under my right eye.  Over the course of the week and into this week the pimple will not go away, I got another pimple on my chin that went away and the one under my right eye won't go away.  I use Proactiv every day and still the pimple won't go away.  The pimple has worsened in that it has turned a purplish color.  It's not big and it doesn't hurt either, doesn't itch, or doesn't burn.  It doesn't bother me except for the fact that its there!!  I don't know what it is...is it a pimple or what could it be?  I am a 24 year old female, no health problems, I rarely get pimples.  Does anyone know what can help?

Hi. Changes in pigmentation occur while the skin is healing itself so don't be concerned. A purplish mark may remain after the pimple has healed but this is likely to be superficial, not permanent scarring.
Try Clinique's Post Blemish Formula which heals spots and prevents both scarring and the return of pimples in the same place. For more stubborn purple marks after acne, try Cliniques Even Better Skin Tone Corrector.
Eloise.
