I've seen some people suddenly get a REALLY REALLY big pimple somewhere on their face. Well, not huge, but bigger than a regular pimple, say the size of a dime. It's just a round red bump, often painful to touch. Now it seems I've growing on of those too, just between my eye and my ear. It's just red right now, a bit painful and a bit of inflammation, but it looks like it's slooowly getting bigger.
Now what the hell do i do? How do I stop it's growth and how do I make it go away?

I'm 23, and actually don't have problems with pimples in general. This ain't a regular pimple.

it could be systs.Clean your face more often. I use sensitive clean and clear solution. Buy square cotton and apply some solution on it and clean your face at least 3-4x's a day. Also, you should see a dermintologist.

The best thing to do is buy alcohol wipes or a bottle of rubbing alcohol or peroxide and cotton balls and wipe the pimple eveyrtime you think of it. Like at least 4 or 5 times a day. If it really gets stabbing pain, wash your hands, wipe the area, use the sides of your index fingers NEVER your nails and gently push from the sides of the pimple. You may have to push more than once. The pus will come out and immediately clean it with the alcohol or perioxide. Wash your hands alot and after it is open, and if it's big and noticable clean it and get some triple antibiotic cream and a skin colored bandaid. Change the bandaid 2 or 3 times and day and at night just let it air out, but keep on cleaning it with the alcohol or perioxide.
If it doesn't hurt like hell, just keep cleaning it and at nght, rub a little triple antilbiotic cream on it before bed.
If you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the cream-don't use it and check with your doctor or pharacist.

I had the same problem, for years. It really pissed me off that I should have been more popular, except for the pimples. I am smart and funny, but they just ate away at my self-esteem. I was determined to get rid of them by hook or by crook.
I tried a whole bunch of things like proactive and others but nothing seemed to work. I tried a few different books and ebooks and nothing helped. Then, I read an awesome e-book that will teach you all the home remedies that you will need to get rid of acne permanently. At first I thought it was too expensive, but then I realized that I pay this much like every month for pimple medicine and washes, and this was a one time thing. Best decision I ever made! They explained exactly what was causing the pimples and how I could stop them and get rid of them. My doctor told me that he knew ome of this stuff, but doctors never like to tell you natural stuff. they only like to tell you about medicines. Not only did it help me stop getting pimples, it also helped clear up my onld pimple scars, which were really pissing me off!

I tried some books from my dermatologist, but they didn't help me, plus I kept on forgetting to return them to the library. The best thing about the ebook is that i downloaded it right away, and i had the copy forever.

I was reading last night that applying an ice cube or an ice pack to the area helps.
I have tried using a small dab of regular toothpaste (not the gel kind), and that seemed to help too.
Tea Tree Oil is also good in an emergency situation like this.
Drink 8 glasses of water a day too. That is supposed to help flush out toxins in the body, which may also be helpful.

Don't do anything with pimples if ur age is between 17 to 24 as it come as per change in face structure and maturity so it come to enable change in strycture and its for a time period and if you feel bad about that then use soft cleansing soap like dove and use a little bit oil face cream like ponds or loreal one.
and leave it for sometime and i'm sure it will be there on ur face for a week or two and see the glow then...........believe

Ice and benzoyl peroxide.
Trust me. Apply a cold pack for about 10 minutes, you can do it a few times a night, but more than that doesnt seem to help.
Both take away the inflammation

apply a 'tucks' pad on it for about 20 minutes 3 times a day. it should heal it right away. Or go to the pharmacy and get some witch hazel and use that on a cotton ball
