I just got a pimple (i haven't had one in so long!) and i've been applying a combination of vinegar/lemon juice and salicyclic acid gel to dry it out... it seemed to work for a couple days but now it turned a strange.. deep red/mauve /purplish color?? which is so hard to cover up... any suggestion, reasons for why it did this? thakns!

Well lemon juice has a subtle bleaching effect, so that may be the reason for the discoloration. I once put hydrogen peroxide on a pimple in hopes that it would dry it out and get rid of the redness, but all it did was change to a strange pinkish color.
I wouldn't worry about the change in color. It'll fade and go back to normal soon enough. There's an all natural product called Bindi, which has a drying lotion for pimples. It's to be used at night, like many other ance spot treatments. I've used it in the past and it worked well for me. I actually preferred it over Retin A. It's fairly inexpensive and has beneficial ingredients. But of course, everybody's skin reacts differently. Consulting with a dermatologist before using a new product would be best, especially if you're skin is sensitive and prone to breakouts. Judi or Vogueboy may know of a good concealer to cover it up until it heals.

First question it there a head to it or is it just a sore that resembles a pimple and is very hard and bright in color. There are a couple of different things other than a regular pimple, get back to me and give me more insight to what its like. I do not want to recommend anything till I Know more.

I suggest you visit your dermatologist. Don't try to self-medicate. The situation could get worse.
