How to get rid of my big pimple?

Well, its soooooooooo red...school starts tomorrow... lol|||well if it has a head on it, sqeeze it and get a little bit of alchol/perfume into it. it drys out the puss and it should work.|||It%26#039;s everyone%26#039;s worst nightmare. Waking up the day before a


special event to discover a big, red pimple baring itself for all


to see right on your face!





Here%26#039;s how to get rid of it quickly and safely:





1. Don%26#039;t ever pinch, squeeze or pick at a pimple. This only


causes it to become more red and inflamed, and will spread the


bacteria and oils that caused it in the first place, to other


parts of your face! It can also lead to scars.





2. Every 30 minutes, apply an ice pack to the pimple and hold it


there for about 2 minutes. This will decrease the swelling and


redness and help shrink the inflammation and pain that sometimes


comes along with it.





3. They don%26#039;t call it concealer for nothing! Covering the pimple


with a light dose of flesh-tinted concealer can help mask it when


you%26#039;re in a hurry. It also helps cover up that oily shine.





4. Cleanse your skin 2-3 times a day with mild, unscented soap or


a specialized acne cleanser that has no harsh chemicals (such as


lye). Scrub skin gently with an exfoliating pad or washcloth, but


don%26#039;t rub too hard, otherwise you%26#039;ll sap your skin of its own


natural oils, which help to repel buildup naturally.





5. Apply a cream or ointment containing benzyl peroxide or


salicylic acid (many over-the-counter acne medicines contain


these ingredients) to the blemish or around the entire facial


area. Note that these ingredients both have a tendency to dry


out skin if used too much and are not recommended if you have


sensitive skin.





6. Wear oil-free makeup whenever possible. These types have less


of a tendency to cause the pore buildup that results in


blemishes. Remove your makeup nightly and cleanse with an


acne-fighting medicine to remove dirt, oil and makeup from deep


within the skin.





7. If you%26#039;re in need of a quick fix, a dab of toothpaste on the


affected area right before bed can help soothe irritation and


reduce redness. Pressing and holding a wet tea bag or a cotton


ball with a dab of lemon juice against the blemish for five


minutes can also reduce swelling and redness.





If you follow these tips, chances are you%26#039;ll notice a significant


difference rather quickly - often within a day or two. If


pimples become a recurring problem or worsen, your doctor or


dermatologist can suggest a daily skin cleansing routine that


will suit your skin type. Other long-term remedies, such as


facial masks, diet adjustments and increasing the amount of water


you drink can also help combat outbreaks.
