Leave it alone to avoid possible infection - OR - Get someone to pop it with tissues

Get a clean cloth, put some hot water on it, as hot as you can take it. Apply the cloth directly to your blemish. Repeat. When hot water cools or drips away off of cloth, keep wetting it. May want to stay over the sink.This works, if not right away, then after a couple times, usually that same day.
cloth pillows harber germs. cover in plastic case, may need to make one. and always use a face sponge at least 2 x a day. This is working for me.
ohh- take vitamin c
hope it helps :)

Hi,
Dont use the big brands, cleansing, toning and moiserising is the best way to get rid of those nast spots, and could help you out around the hairline. Its always a good idea to use some sort of cover up aferwards....
I've tried a number of things-ive found as i didnt have that many it best not to go mad on things (i.e using too many products), ive used most of them and none of them seem to do anything for me. I never usually go for cheap things but recently i just brought the (Tesco, Vitamin E [[Clenser]]), this has made my skin so much better, and has cleared up some of them spots. I would reccomend that at the moment [[Cleanse, Tone and Moisterise]].
Good Luck

Okay... here's the best way to do it for the least amount of $$$
Use a clean face cloth. Soak it in hot water (as hot as you can stand). This will open the pores as much as possible.
Use a clean cloth or cotton ball soaked in peroxide. Place this against the spot.... and keep it there for a minute or 2... do this a couple of times a day or even more if you like, as it won't damage your skin... Oh... make sure you use hydrogen peroxide and not the kind to bleach your hair!
If it doesn't go away as quick as you want it to, you can always put a bit of base foundation makeup on it....

One of the best products for me is Savlon antiseptic cream( available in the UK).This contains Chlorhexidene and Cetrimide , and usually clears infected spots in 24hrs. Bathe the spot with hot water, dry , then apply Savlon before you go to bed. If its not available at your local pharmacy ask for something with the same ingredients.
( Note keep it away from eyes and ears )

Tea Tree oil works

if you are male it is probably an ingrown hair
Put some warm wash cloths on it and see if you can get some of the " juice" to come out of it. Then make and x- in it with your fingernail. Apply peroxide, usually brings these things down in a hurry

As tempting as it is to pick at it - don't it will only get worse, you can get several products that you can put on spots to reduce their size, the Body Shop has a good Tea Tree Oil stick that works wonders.

I can concur that using toothpaste is a good thing - really helps clear things up quickly - but I'd do the hot cloth application beforehand.

NEVER pop, squeeze or pick your face. It just spreads the bacteria and causes scars.
Go to the store and buy some acne medication. It's like $4.
