Dermatologists on how pimple patches can help 'manage the damage'

Have you ever been tempted to use a "pimple patch"? Dr Yip says pimple patches are best for "that pesky spot that won't go away" or "smaller acne spots", and they're not going to work on cystic or extensive acne. Dr Schofield says "by the time you want to put a pimple patch on the acne is already formed and you're just trying to manage the damage." With comedonal acne, Dr Yip says pimple patches containing salicylic acid may help "penetrate down and help to unblock that congestion." Patches can't replace treatment Dr Yip says pimple patches are "a cheap alternative", but they can't replace acne treatments which are ideally preventative.
