"Last week Dr. Ariel Ostad gave us some insight as to why I always break out in the same place. This week, we&amp;#x27;re asking why some pimples hurt more than others. &amp;quot;Pimples that really hurt are more than &amp;#x27;pimples&amp;#x27;,&amp;quot; says Dr. Ostad. &amp;quot;They are inflamed cysts &amp;amp;mdash; large pimples or boils. They hurt because they are more inflamed and the inflammation can be on top of or near a minor nerve ending which causes pain. And unfortunately, the more inflammation the more pain there is.&amp;quot; In need a remedy stat? &amp;quot;The best way to reduce pain is a warm compress and to apply over-the-counter benzyl peroxide twice daily,&amp;quot; he advises. &amp;quot;Over-the-counter hydrocortisone 1% can also help reduce inflammation.&amp;quot; To reduce the size of the pimple avoid stress and for goodness sake, quit picking at it! Have any other questions you&amp;#x27;d like to ask the dermatologist? Leave them in the comments! Photo: Mark Leibowitz "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
