Pimple/zit help?

[imabrat]

Ow.
I don't know what this thing on the side of my face is, but it hurts. I don't normally get pimples or zits so I don't know what it's called?
Are there any home remedies?
Wanda suggested Rubbing Alcohol, but we don't have any. I have some Noxema on it now, and I'll put some toothpaste on it a little later.

Help. I can NOT go to school with this thing tomorrow.

My sister told me to crush up an aspirin tablet and add a little water to make it sort of like a paste. It worked well for me, but it contains alot of acid so I wouldn't use it if your skin is sensitive.

Vinegar also works. Use the same method as rubbing alchohol.

I have those a lot.
I don't know exactly what they're called, but just don't pick at it. (Obvious here, if you do it hurts.)
I've tried A LOT of things for my acne, and the only thing that works for me is time.
Honestly, zits aren't that bad. I don't really notice them on people.

Murad, Clean and clear, neutrogena, proactive, are some medicines, you can see if they'll work.

I don't know if this works, but my friend told me she used egg whites on her zit.

Yeah, I was going to suggest rubbing alcohol too.
If you rub some avacado and water on your face it helps too.
I think if you have a shampoo with salicylic acid in it, it will work too, someone told me they use a bit of Head and Shoulders, and it get's rid of it, so you could use that too.

I've used toothepaste on zits before.
it dries them right up (not immediatley) and then they are really easy to get rid of. (it kind of stings though lol)

I rarely get zits because i take reeealllyyyy good care of my skin (srsly my regiment is really intense) i use tea tree oil products; cleanser, exfoliator, moisterizer, and pure oil for spot treatments, and i use a seaweed toner.
(haha see told you it's a bit ridic.)
but seriously, i really recommend any of those products, they got rid of all my acne problems!

That's the odd thing tho - I normally have very clear skin. I get a pimple, maybe on average 2 every year. I clean my face regularly and everything.

I just found this Spanish baby cologne (this thing is magic I swear! it get's rid of everything) and it seems to be helping.

I get like 3 zits a year, but thats because I use Differin to prevent breakouts.

i never had acne, i just consulted matt. he said his got bad in 7th grade and got better at the end of his senior year. (ouch)

he said that none of the remedies he tried helped anything, but washing your face a lot more than normal kinda helped it a little bit.

he also said do not pop your pimples. it makes it spread out.

I've heard toothpaste works. Never personally tried it though. I only get like one or two zits a month now around my period. I used to get them regularly and I hated it. Most of the medications would irritate my skin because of the benzyl peroxide.

i drink about 20mL of aloe vera juice every day. i mix it with orange juice coz i hate the taste. it works really well. my face is looking clearer and i had pretty bad acne on my back wich is pretty much gone now, except for some scarring
