if you could head over to a store and buy clean & clear's persa-gel that contains 10% of benzoyl peroxide that is the highest % you can get from a drugstore without prescription. it really does help reduce the size, and sometimes even banishes the zit all by itself. depends on your zit i suppose. none the less it helps and it will at least look smaller and you can conceal it tomorrow with makeup. good luck, zits stink :(

Before you do all that,it's best that you give your face a 'steam'.
Get a big bowl,with hot water with about 2 drops of tea tree oil(for facial use),check out at The Body Shop.Place your face slightly above the steam with a towel covering your head & the bowl.
**You can take away the towel if it's too hot, then cover it again.
Don't get too close though,you don't want to get scalded or
anything ok!
Then wash your face with tea-tree facial foam with luke warm water.Pat dry with a clean towel.Apply tea-tree gel on affected area.Do not touch or pick on them!
You may also wanna try Oxy 5 or 10,Aknemycin, Dalaccin-T & Clindamycin (clindagel) are all topical antibiotics. Aknemycin contains erythromycin while Dalccin-T & clindagel contain clindamycin.Or Benzamycin, it's gel based & contains benzyl peroxide + erythromycin.
To prevent future acne problems,you may wanna take supplements like Zinc or from the skin support system by Blackmores.They are great.

ugh i hate zits! i like never get them but i swear one just like popped up over night 2 nights ago it made me soooo mad cuz i nevr braek out. but yea i just asked the same question to. and i heard toothpaste left over night really helps. also if you hold a hot rag to just that spot it helps. like hole it there for 10 mins and then wash your face with chilly water. also drink LOTS of water its great for your skin it cleans out the pores. what ever you do dont try to pop it becuase it will most likey leave a scab and second if you touch it and mes with it , it will make it more agitated and red. for the redness of it use a concelaar thats lighter than you skin and put it on just that spot. also to reduce the size a bit i heard if you put ice up to it for a little bit it will make it smalled but dont leave it on to long or it might cuase redness from the colness. also wash your fash with Dove soap it works really good! i hope this helps :] goodluck!

well, tea tree oil helps.
toothpaste, a little dab, left on overnight
baking soda, with a little water, left on as a paste overnight
crushed up aspirin as a paste with water, to reduce redness
when it comes closer to the event, use some redness reducing eyedrops on a cotton ball and hold it on there for a few minutes to reduce redness

One thing that will help to cover it up is a concealer that is one or two shades lighter than your skin color. From here put on your make up as you usually would.

you could go to walgreens and get this stuff that is called purpose. it works good. it will reduce the pimple. also u can get this cover up stuff that won't block ur pores thats wat i use when i forget to wash my face. i also wouldn't touch it. cuz the oils on ur hands will make it bigger. so i would try not to touch it that much.

DO NOT TOUCH OR PICK! IT'LL MAKE IT MORE IRRITATED!
