you can actually hold an ice cube on that ugly zit of yours for about five minutes, the take it off for five minutes, then back on for five minutes, then back off.... etc....
Your zit should slowly start to shrink up, and after about an hour it should be so very tiny that you can barely see it.
I also wash my face with Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash every night. Because that is when your skin repairs itself, and if there is dirt in your pores, you'll wake up with pimples because that is what your skin needs to do to repair itself. But if your pores are clean when you go to sleep, your body will only have to work on making your skin smooth and healthy. It's really nice!
You can also find natural zit removing remedies at http://free-beauty-tips.glam.com/skincare.html
Good luck! I hate zits. especially if they're in your ears! those kill!

PLEASE...NEVER POP A ZIT!!!!! I am a nurse. Please take my advice. Popping can cause scarring. I have seen this a lot. I know how tempting it is to pop...but resist the temptation. You will just push the bacteria back down and it will spread. You run the risk of getting MORE zits and getting a nasty scar. Be sure to wash your face with a cleanser that has salicylic acid in it. There are several kinds that are over-the-counter. Wash morning and night. Get spot treatments over-the-counter too.
For the day you wake up with a huge zit...just cover it with some concealer before you apply your make-up.
Just remember...WASH your face morning & night, and NEVER POP A ZIT!!!!!
P.S. If you have a lot of problems with zits, go to a dermatologist for prescriptions. Good luck!

popping is not a good idea, it will just push the bacteria in deeper and may cause scarring. a lil' bit of hydrogen peroxide or a salicylic acid astringent on a cotton ball and hold it for a few seconds on the zit (it will sting), but will help with the bacteria. it will dry it out. also, a tiny bit of toothpaste (not the gel kind) will help too. just put it on the blemish and use a tiny tiny bit.

do NOT pop it! that is the worst thing you can do! i know its hard but try to resist lol. If you pop it it will get more irritated and possibly infected. first i would put some heat on it. the heat might help it come to a head (that's when the white stuff is at the top). if it does come to a head then you might be able to pop it. but if it doesn't pop easily then don't try anymore. get one of those emergency daytime spot treatment gels (Avon has a great one i use) and dab it on there, let it dry and use a concealer before you apply your makeup regularly. hope this helps!

if you want to pop the zit you should wash it with a scrub first and then after you pop it put some neosporin on it to keep the bacteria out.
if you choose not to pop it you can put ice on it for a little while to reduce its size and eye drops (for red eyes) to reduce the redness.
if you have a good amount if time i would probably pop it, put neosporin on it, wait for ALL the neosporin to absorb (might take a while) and then put on the eye drops.
the eye drops really help a lot to reduce redness (it will be red at first when you put them on for like 5 min and then when the drops fry it should be much much better)
popping pimples/zits is bad but i you ever do it put neosporin on right away....it will help your skin heal, keep bacteria out, and reduce the time it takes for the thing to heal.

Whatever you do DO NOT touch it!! That can only make it worse and do not pop it!!! That can lead to scarring and that pimple will be on your face wayyy longer than you want it to be! Keep using acne medication. IF you really want to pop it, only do it if there is puss. I know exactly how you feel! Just keep using medication & drink water to help your pimple & prevent pimples!! <3 good luck

keep popping it untill nothing more comes out of it. i had the same problem once and it was my very first zit. i haven't had any since. i'm not saying you'll have no more after this, but you should just keep sqeezing all of the puss and infection out of it, then wash your face daily with acne pads.
