THIS WORKS FAST & CHEAP!!!
I used Tetracyclin, Proactive, Retina A and had many expensive facials with less than good results.This has worked for me and many many other happy people.
Go to pharm.,Drug store, or Walmart, buy "PURPOSE" bar of soap - Blue box - Made by Johnson & Johnson - wash your face with this
2-3x's per day. Also pick up a LOW strength Benzoyl-peroxide cream, apply the cream by dabbing to the individual blemishes.... DONT rub it in works using a oxidation/reduction reaction..It will unclog dry it out and bring it to a head...DONT over use this or put anywhere else on your face. It will cause drying and make you look worse.
Salicylates such as found in regular asprin among other products work very similar but also remove layers of skin...other over the counter creams with this product will dry out pimples but maybe too hash and cause surrounding skin trauma..
I have seen many people recommending crushing asprin and making a paste which probably will dry out the blemish but again
pretty strong and probably will cause more tissue damage and bigger scars as an anti inflammatory
probably would take the reddness out... again pretty harsh for sensative skin.
Also, If need which probably will for moisture ASK FOR "NUTRADERM lotion" - the orginal not the new stuff, this works great and wont clog pores or leave a residue on your skin...Any lotion that is completely oil free and hypoallergic should
work but again I recommend Nutraderm. I have heard from people online that "Purpose" also makes a lotion that is good, Nutragena, and Nivea
make good products also. I recommend Nutraderm from experience and my dematologist.
"Purpose Bar" & "Nutraderm" are oil free and hypoallergic they contain no perfumes and are great for both men and women. I have also heard great reports of this soap helping improve skin tone. Some people recommend the "Purpose luqid soap" saying that the bar did dry out their skin some. The rational behind using the bar is that there are no ingredients in it that will clog pores, and according to dermatologists they recommend the Bar. These products are safe for all skin colors and tones. I highly discourage use
of Proactive and other harsh chemicals for people with some natural color in their face due to the bleaching and drying effect it has shown in many many people.
Additonal TIPS: acne, pimples, etc are frequently cause by a bacteria or hormone issues that cause clogging of pores DONT PICK POP POKE (your hands are the dirtiest part of your body) and will cause: infections, spreading of germs, more breakouts and scarring DONT EVER listen to people online who tell you to scrub your sensative skin or use harsh chemicals such as: Lemon juice, vinagar, alcohol, etc... DONT EVER use that APRICOT CRAP!!! DONT USE PROACTIVE- this is expensive and harsh it may kill the bacteria cause also Benzoyl based wash but will irritate skin and cause bleaching of face and neck.... Other similar treatments may work.. also things such as Accutane but have SERIOUS side effects.... Eating healthy...Drinking plenty of water.. changing pillow cases freq.etc ...avoiding dirty sports equp. such as helmets...can not hurt.......................................
THIS WORKS FAST AND CHEAP!!! I no longer get expensive facials, take oral antibiotics, or even NEED makeup... I am very happy - Have
very good skin... and have many many other happy friends... THANKS again to my WONDERFUL DERMATOLOGIST... TRY THIS!! GOOD LUCK.... PS. "PURPOSE" costs about $3

What i do is if they are fat and swollen, i pop them. If they dont pop from ur first try then give up because if u keep working on it you will get scars. But i never got scars from popping swollen pimples. I pop them and then i make sure i clean it with something.
If you are not keen on taking meds for pimples, just go to a drugstore and buy one of those creams. I use neutrogena 8 hour spot gel thing.

DONT POP THEM! You will get ugly scars that are not fun to deal with. You could do many things. Go to a dermetoligist and you will get prescribed acne cream. I did this and my acne is pretty much gone =]! You could try products like clean and clear which helped for me. You could use proactiv. You could put a hot water rag on your face for a few minutes and splash very cold water on it and the put rubbing alcohol on your pimple. Dont ask but it works. If your desprite you can use a tiny bit of white toothpaste and place it on the pimple. [I dont know if it works but I know people that do it]. Or if your willing to spend lots of money get Zeno! Its fantastic I use it for big red pimples and small ones and it works like a charm. I also know of a wonderful face mask called Queen Helenes it helps with pores and clears acne you can even use it as a spot treatment heres the website you can get it from. http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=79218&catid=9386&trx=PLST-0-SEARCH&trxp1=9386&trxp2=79218&trxp3=1&trxp4=0&btrx=BUY-PLST-0-SEARCH
Good luck! I hope this helped. Sorry if it doesnt work but it should!

i know exactly how u feel. but some of the answers r not right. DO NOT use alcohol it dries out your face even more and makes u break out MORE!!! and your diet does not affect your face. one thing that i was told was to us only non-comedogetic(wont clog pores) products weather sunscreen or makeup anything that u put on your face should say that. and even though over the counter stuff can work i would suggest seeing a dermatologist they can give you more suggestions than any one out here. but be open to suggestions that they might have because they know. (sorry other answers)

Rubbing alcohol (ONLY on the pimple, not your whole face)and then oil-free moisturizer bc the alcohol will dry out your skin.
