I've heard that putting toothpaste on pimples helps dry them out. Does it really work? I have a few pimples that I want gone but don't know how to get rid of. Any suggestions?

Yes, but only the white thick toothpaste! The gel ones don't work. :)

It does dry them out but don't keep it on for too long I done that and ended up with a hole in my face! Because the tooth paste was soo harsh on my skin it literally burned the pimple

Yes but all it does is dry it out. Doesn't remove redness or prevent scarring or anything like that. It's a quick fix, but there are more natural options you can do to help heal the skin :)

You could use sudocrem, it basically does the same thing but is much gentler on the skin, they use it on babies haha :)
