I see no reason for this page to redirect to acne, because acne is not the only cause of pimples. The acne article also does not discuss what a pimple is (i.e., how it is formed). -- Slowking Man 23:41, Jun 2, 2004 (UTC)
Although acne can cause pimples, pimples are the subject at hand on this page, in order to prevent from endless sideffects or causes, treatment ect... being on the same page, for easier direction. Specificness, to reduce amount of topics getting of the main subject.
To help start this page off, I could provide a picture of a pimple if you like. --huwr 11:09, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I think this article definently needs a picture of a pimple, with one with white top and one without :).
- IMO that wikipedia as this, which other sources are too 'old' to have, is one of the things that makes wikipedia cool. FYI neither encarta nor britannica has an article on pimples, and certainly not instructions for popping pimples :). I mean it is right that wikipedia has this article in the sincerest sense of the word; any encyclopedia which doesn't have an article on a subject which is as relevant to everyday life as pimples is deficient.

"Stress does not cause acne either" Well, not directly, but stess can effect the hormone balance and the production of oils in the skin, potentially contributing to acne...at least according to the main article on acne. I don't know the truth, but on of the articles is wrong.

ACNE?
Why are there "misconceptions about ACNE" in an article about a PIMPLE? There is a link to acne, thats good enough.Slasher600
- I was thinking the same thing. This is covered in the acne article, and per the discussion above, pimples and acne are not the same... --Kevin McManus 18:51, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
If "Pimple" is to have its own section, apart from Acne, this section should focus on pimple-specific topics (eg techniques for popping pimples, implements used, etc). While this kind of information may not be covered in traditional encyclopedias, it is certainly of interest to a substantial percentage of the population. As Slasher600 mentioned above, the "misconceptions about acne" article seems quite out of place. Adam Sharp
- I've deleted all the info about acne leaving just pimple-specific info. BE BOLD. Abc30 01:28, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I'd add this myself, but dont want to get done for spam since I'm a new user... http://www.acnetreatmentinfo.org/info/The_Life_of_a_Pimple - lovecider 4th may 2006
I added this because it supplements the content. Just because there is adsense doesnt mean its evil. - lovecider 28th June 2006
Yes I agree with you having adsense on a site does not mean that its useless infact another site http://www.geoamaan.com/index.php?View=entry&CategoryID=7&EntryID=37 Top Ten Tips For Getting Rid Of Acne, has so much informative material on acne and tips on how to prevent them. --Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.2.162.253 (talk) 06:25, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
Pimples and sugar
Is there a link between a sugary diet and the formation of pimples? This may be an just an urban rumor. Wpell (talk) 07:37, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Yes, having a unhealthy diet will cause more abundant pimples. Some foods that cause pimples if eaten excessively are meat, sugar, aspartame, table salt, corn syrup (whether high fructose or not), and anything fried. There is probably more, but I don't know them all. BuBBLeSGiRL209 (talk) 18:01, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
Alcohol and pimples
I just reverted some edit which said "And when you have pimples, put alcholol on them, it dries them up" (all in uppercase.) Does alcohol really dry out pimples, or is it the work of a vandal? Scott Gall 02:37, 16 February 2007 (UTC) Really I think that would leave scars.......
- If it was in all caps, then it sounds like an accidental vandal. Abcw12 (talk) 02:36, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Home treatments
I think that home treatments should be added to the article, the article provided only contains over the counter and prescribed medical treatments however there is a long and varied list of home treatments ranging from the use of alcohol or toothpaste which dries out the pimples. The use of toothpaste featured in the British programe "Brainiac" and from personal experiance it is fairly affective. I am sure that local treatments exist all over the world, some of which should be explained in the article. --Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.46.31.227 (talk) 17:40, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Home treatment for pimples.
1) Put little quantity of colgate white toothpaste on pimple's tip.Apply it with a Q-tip. Don't use your fingers.Let it dry a little before going to bed and the next morning wash it off.It may not be gone but it will have dried out and be smaller. Don't stop there, keep using it every night for good results
2) Do facial twice in a month.
3) Mix a little baking soda with water and apply gently to your pimples, let it dry for 30 minutes. Then rinse face with cold water, try it daily for a week and see if it helps clear your acne. --Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.164.36.75 (talk) 11:18, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
I heard about using steam also... Put boiling water in a bucket then get a towel... Put your face in the bucket and then cover your head with the bucket.. so the vapour doesn't escape... It works almost immediately. Just do it for like a week, dry your face then use an oil free lotion on your face

Shitter
Could someone tell me why the word "shitter" redirects here ? I've never heard of a pimple being called that. Hiyahiyahiya 02:22, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- redirects to rectum, but oh well... quite funny :P Bkkeim2000 06:12, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Popping Zits
why is no mention made of the most common method of dealing with zits, squeezing them until they pop, and the dangers therof (permeent scaring, etc)? I know this isn't a how to guide (supposedly), but it certainly should at least mention the matter to some small degree, at very least. -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.5.249.85 (talk) 20:31, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
- The above has a point. Besides, many find popping pimples fun and actively cultivate pimples and try to find mates with acne for popping, especially bacne with both many whiteheads for popping and blackheads for extruding. Indeed, this leads to the acne-grooming hypothesis:
- The reason humans have more acne than other apes is possibly because as humans became less hairy as we moved from rainforests to savannas, he had fewer ectoparasites, but grooming is important, so we evolved a greater tendency to acne so that pimple-popping replaced grooming. All was well until dermatologists convinced people that they must pay dermatologists for acne treatment. According to this hypothesis, up until modern times, family friends, and lovers would enjoy popping each others' pimples.
- The above paragraph deserves its own section, so I shall spin it off. -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.102.233.65 (talk) 07:30, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
zits
To the best of my knowledge, "zit" is slang, whereas "pimple" is a standard word. I think this should be indicated, rather than giving them as equivalents. 64.53.191.77 (talk) 21:23, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
The hypothesis that pimple popping is a substitute for glooming.
