The pimple has been there for at least a week and it is very hard you can see if you stretch the skin there is white stuff in it. Everytime I put anything on it the skin over and around the area becomes dry and red. If I just leave it alone will it finally go away or does the stuff inside it have to come out?

It is not a pimple. It is a boil, as you mentioned something white - which is pus. You will have to get a prescription of a course of antibiotics. Or operate, which may leave a scar. I think medication is the best, as I said a course in antibiotics. But get it prescribed by a doctor.

Ive read where its better to leave them as your body will process it and it will go away by itself but if that is true it must take a while as i had waited and waited and popped them after they just seemed to not be going anywhere soon. I use a pin head so that it doesnt make a mess of my skin, but it has to be sterile, if you dont have clean needles (like ones in a sterile packet - you can get them from chemist) than boil one from home, and then sterilise it with metho, prick it just enough, and then give it a little squeeze with tissues on you fingers, (to stop nasty germs getting in and making it worse) oh and yes make sure youve washed your hands first!!!!!! and then put some antiseptic cream on it, not near your mouth though and voila it should do the trick. Ask your doctor what he says next time you see him, he'll give you the skinny on it all.

^In regards to the toothpaste trick....Please dont put anything on your beautiful face that stings or burns!!!! Thats really stupid, your skin is so sensitive, if you can feel it hurting its damaging your skin!!!!! There is no miracle substance in toothpaste, the theory behind that is that because of the foaming agents that are extremely drying that it dries out your skin and will make the pimples go away, and while yes oily skin can be pimple prone, so can dry skin!!!!

Whatever you do, DO NOT POP IT!!!!!
It will just cause more. That white stuff Inside is a bacteria infested pus. I would, however, try different kinds of face cleansers, just to see which ones work better.

If you don't want to pop it, use toothpaste. It's got to be regular toothpaste, not the gel kind. Seriously, it works. Or you could use rubbing alcohol. I use that and it works like a charm.

Anything you use to get rid of zits will dry your face out.

Squeezing it leaves scars - ask me I have hundreds :-)

Leaving it is mightily annoying.

You decide.

The best cure for me was to keep my face clean so that they didn't appear in the first place. It took me a while to discover the best face wash.

Try a belt sander with 80 grit paper.
