listen carefully.....DO NOT POP THEM....
popping zits spreads the bacteria around and will cause more zits or an infection.
Some household remedies that I've heard of:
toothpaste-put a blob of it on each zit and leave it there overnight. In the morning wash it off.
rubbing alcohol-soak a cotton ball in alcohol and stick it to your face using a bandaid. Only leave that on for no more than an hour or your get a burn on your face.
Both of these methods are used to dry the pimple out. Warning...it will also dry the surrounding skin out.
You can use Preparation H to remove redness from a pimple.
I'm not going to guarantee these will work. I usually use store bought product to control acne. But Good Luck and DON'T POP IT!

Lemons always worked for me. Baking soda and water are another common remedy. If anything, put some Hydrogen peroxide on it (only once) and then treat it with antiseptic ointment. Pimples are basically skin infections. Later, when you have some cash, buy a product called SSS tonic. You can find it at old fashioned pharmacies. It's like 180 proof alcohol, but if you drink three capfulls a day (and trust me...it tastes nasty) you won't have a pimple again for the rest of your life. I recommended it to a friend's son who was constantly broken out all over, and his face radically cleared up in a week.

I used to just clean them with seabreeze or alcohol and let them dry out. The thing about pimples is they are sort of greasy so you want them to get dried out. If you pop them there is a good chance you will have a scar where those puppies were at.

scientists have been doing studies on the human skin and pigment, and bacterial infection within pores- and they've finally let it out in the open about the controversy about using toothpaste to get rid of acne faster- it works. put a LITTLE BIT, not a whole mound, with a Q-tip on the two infected pimples. leave it on for a little bit, like 20-30 minuets before bed or in the morning, and then wash your face with face wash like Johnson and Johnson for everyone. you may have to use oxy or Clearasil ultra wipes if you can't get rid of them.

Take a needle and go into the middle of the pimple, then push out the head. I do this all the time. By doing this, it might not go away but will/shall reduce the size. Push hard but don't always use your nails when pushing out the head. This should work. Good Luck!

I would not use any find of soap unless it is cleanser for you skin you could break out more. But if you have any 3% peroxide in the house you can use that as a toner. look up on the Internet natural remedies. You can use oatmeal and egg yolks it is messy but it works. And believe it or not lemon juice or an onion will help shrink it.

Very bad to do but i'll tell you anyway. put alcohol on that one spot like aftershave or something and that will help. You can also wait until there is that white spot in the middle and then take two cotton swabs to take the white stuff out and then put aftershave/alcohol. Never press down on the pimple and do not touch it!! when using the cotton swabs, poke the white stuff from two sides. remember, NEVER PRESS!

if you have white toothpaste (the nonwhitening kind) put a dab on your zit and let it be overnight. the toothpaste is good at drawing moisture out of the pimple. don't pick at it cuz you'll make it look really red. when you wake up gently remove the toothpaste with warm water then rinse with cold (to close the pores) if the zit is really red then put ice on it. that's all i've got.

mix toothpaste and salt to make a gritty paste. The salt will help dry it out and exfoliate the dead skin around it. Make sure you wash with soap and warm water. Let it be, and it will form a head ready for you to pop. Remember, don't mess with it until it gets a head and ready to pop, then wash and let it be
