Anyone know what to do with a zit?

vahine03

Just got a zit on my forehead today. What do i do? It's bothering me so much. Anyone have some home remedies that can rid of this zit fast? Is there any existing solution for it?

pop it.

Pop it if you must, but then put Neosporin on it and leave it alone.

vahine03

Neosporin. Why didn't i think of that. -.- That thing always works when i need it. Just have never put that and zit together....Thanks

StatutoryGrape

No problem! I recently discovered that particular use myself, and it always seems to clear them up the fastest. I wish I'd known about it when I was a teenager and my skin was *kitten*, lol.

vahine03

LOL. Me too! Now i'm stuck with scars on my face. *sigh*

I read in cosmo to take a needle and sterilize it. Just barely puncture the skin and then pull on the skin in seperate directions rather than pushing on it with your fingers. Then once you are done apply neosporine.

Have you tried this? Sounds scary. a needle.. I can;t count on myself with that. But i'll give it a try.

My daughter always picks and pops hers (doesn't listen to my don't touch.) On a serious note my niece swears by some clinique product and claims they go away overnight.

Regular white toothpaste..it always worked to dry mine out. Or I can come pop it for you! :happy:

I usually pop it. Then I wipe it down with some peroxide on a q-tip. And I'll either put neosporin on it, or the Nuetrogena Clear Skin stick. The stick thing dries it out really good.

Ugh, I know pimples suck, but DON'T PICK OR POP!

If it doesn't have a white head, it's not going to pop without major pressure, which is going to hurt and leave a nasty nasty scar. If it's just a large red bump, it's probably more of a cystic pimple.

My recommendation is to gently exfoliate your skin, if you don't have a exfoliate product that you normally use, try mixing up a paste of your daily face wash (personally I use plain Dial soap) and baking soda. It should relieve some of the dirt on your face. Make sure to pat dry gently, especially around the pimple as not to irritate it more.

Make sure to moisturize afterwards!

If you have plain tooth paste (not the gel kind) apply it for 10 to 15 minutes then wipe off to prevent over-drying. Otherwise, if I ever have a sore pimple I take an ice pack and place it directly to the pimple for as long as possible. It really reduces the swelling and redness in my pimple and I see major reduction the next morning.

Also, change your pillow cases tonight, that could help too!

grosssssssssssss

If you want to pop it, pull the skin apart rather than push it together. It always seems to work better for me that way and less painful.

Yes I have, and I am scared of needles. Just a small prick to open up the skin. I have found it I do this it does not get red and irritated like if you were to just pop it. Make sure you sterilize the needle tho. Don't need to get an infection.
