Last night I felt a pimple coming on, so I cleaned my face really carefully and put on my murad treatment and lotion (like I always do). But the pimple isn't getting any better. Does anyone have a REALLY good home remedy treatment? I'd like to get rid of it as quickly as possible. I have BMX training tonight and the sweat from riding in my full face helmet is going to make it worse!
Also I'm really girly, so I just want to get rid of it period!

Pat it clean with witch hazel and put a triple antibiotic salve on it before you go to bed. Neosporin also works.
Direct sunlight and sweat due seem to make the outbreak worse. Use a good sunblocker before you go out in the sun. Use the salve before you put on your helmet. Air out your helmet in between usr and possibly spray it with a disinfectant or wipe it down with a hand sanitizer.
Pimples are caused by a surface bacteria feeding on stuff your body is generating in your sweat and oil glands. Make sure you have a balanced diet and plenty of sleep, as stress will cause your body to produce a more bacterial friendly environment. Wiping your face with witch hazel soaked pads kills surface bacteria while closing your pores a bit.
Hormonal changes also can change the nature of your sweat and skin pH to where bacteria are encouraged. You can reduce the number of pimples by following my previous advice, but you will have to just wait for your hormonal balance to adjust before all of them are going to go away. Stress increases hormonal changes, so don't stress over a pimple; just cover it up and keep on going.
No body likes pimples. Good luck.

I tried Murad, but it made my face dry out and feel worse I tried it on the advice of a staffer at a store called Ulta, but I am ready to order Proactiv since the stuff they gave me dried my face out and made my pimples worse.I use a toner after washing my face.
