Hydrocolloid patches also known as pimple patches have been around since the 1980´s. These patches have products in them to keep your skin moist and to allow the stuff in the pimple to come out onto the patch. They have put a whole bunch of fun designs on these patches and some people wear them just for the look of it. Most dermatologists say that pimple patches are best for getting rid of red, swollen, blemishes and that using medicated patches can sometimes make your situation worse. Dermatologists also say that if you have very sensitive skin you may want to be cautious with how often you are using these patches. I personally love pimple patches, but I don´t over use them and most of the time they help me a lot.
