Human: How do I treat pimples without getting holes in my face?

Assistant: You could try a topical treatment.  The medical term is “topical antibiotics”.  Sometimes you can put medicine in or on the pimple and the infection will go away, but you don’t need a lot.  Too much could cause a hole in your skin.  Or you can try an oral antibiotic, which works by getting inside your body to stop the infection from spreading.  This could be a pill, or an injection.  But a topical treatment would be safer and more efficient, because it doesn’t have to get inside your body, it just goes on your skin.
