Michaela Powell:

Dr. Lisa, how do I get rid of a pimple…fast?

Dr. Lisa Thornton:

You can't get rid of them really fast. They usually go away in their own good time, but they seem to always be there right when we don't want them.

Washing your face is probably the best way to keep your face clean and there are some foods that can cause acne, but really it's best to just wash your face twice a day with a good cleanser.

And if you do get a little acne, there are some great products that your parents can buy you over the counter. Things get really bad; you might ask to go to the doctor. But try not to worry too much about that little bit of acne because your beauty is still shining through.
