Get a good scrub for your face and an overnight treatment to put on your face for your pimple when you go to bed. That way it will dry your pimples out.

No! Don't burst it! That's the worst thing you can do! It may solve your problem temporarily so you won't go to that dinner with a large white bud blossoming on your mug, but the scar will remain for a long, long time. Instead, try wrapping an ice cube in a thin muslin cloth and place it for about three minutes on a pimple that is just forming. It kills the growth of the pimple. Believe it, it is true.

If a pimple does burst accidentally (or intentionally!), wash the area with soap. Then reach for a lemon slice and squeeze ten drops into a cotton ball. Keep it on the burst pimple for about 10 minutes. The scar will vanish.

I read on online that if a zit is red, leave it alone. The infection is deep and squeezing will just force the gunk further into your pore. If the zit has a yellow head, however, go ahead and pop it. Make sure your hands are clean though. I also read that it's helpful to pull outward on a pimple rather than squeezing in. It helps avoid getting germs from under the fingernails into the sore. Once you have clear pus stuff, stop squeezing. This is hard for me! I always want to make sure there's nothing left in there, but excessive picking is what leads to scarring.

Answer 5

Pimples come from stress or whatever. For me, if I leave a pimple it just pops naturally. So you are screwed either way. I think the best thing todo is pop it with a clean needle, then use alcohol to sterilize the area, and put the tiniest bit of neosporin on it after it drys.

Answer 6

It's very bad to pop pimples. And yes it causes scars.

Answer 7

Well if the pimple has a yellow or white had on it then pop them suckers.. if it is red and swollen leave it alone til it is ready to be popped.. and after you pop it wash your face with a cleaner.

Answer 8

use tomato pace and put it on the pimple and it will dry out. Use this for about 1/2 or 1 hour. Hope this helps.

Answer 9

Wash really well, use a toner (witch hazel) that works really good. Then make sure to get a cream with benzoyl peroxide. That will dry the heck out of it. It will fade out & not leave that dark mark.
