However, Dr Santosh Kumar, founder of Sanjeevani Clinic and gold medalist of DMCH Darbhanga, says, "Pimples are not always caused by bacteria. Sometimes they are caused by hormonal changes, oily skin or wrong diet. In such a situation, applying stale saliva may not be beneficial but may cause harm. Therefore, before adopting such home remedies, advice of expert doctors or dermatologists must be taken."

The mix of bacteria in each person's saliva is different. If you have sensitive skin, it can increase infection, redness or rashes. If the pimple is already swollen or painful, applying saliva can make the problem worse.
