This sounds like cystic acne. If you HAVE to have it gone because of a special event of something, see a doc right away and they can give you a tiny shot into it (it's called Kenalog, I think). Other than that, STOP touching it! This only adds more germs and bacteria to the area that is already inflamed. Other than the shot, none of these other cures have ever done much for me exept overdry the skin and make it more irritated. Try the hot pack suggestion (it will help bring it to a head quicker) and dab cortisone cream on it to help with inflamation. If you get these frequently, see a dermatologist about Rx medications such as Retin-A and antibiotics (Minocin worked wonders for me!). Also, I know it is sooooo tempting, but DO NOT try to "pop" it, especially before it comes to a head. You will only break blood vessels around the area and spread the infection even deeper, making recovery much longer and most likely leaving behind a big hyperpigmentation spot. Good luck

've suffered with acne for awhile now, however, I think treating acne takes time. I got rid of of acne by drinking lots of water and eating very healthy, which was the best remedy by far. Also, washing my face twice daily. ,However, using natural cleansers made my face feel, look healthier, and clearer. Though, having a workout plan also takes a big impact on your skin, ALSO, NEVER TOUCH OR PICK AT YOUR FACE. But, if you absolutely have to, get two q-tips and squeeze the puss out gently. Then, put an ice cube on it so the redness will go away. Also, changing your pillowcases every other night helps too. I hope I helped. :)

if all else fails, cut a little peice of potatoe and use a bandaid to secure it ontop of the pimple and leave it on there for an hour or so. That will help bring it to a head, just remember to keep it really clean after you pop it!

An excellent remedy for pimples or acne-prone skin can be made by mixing 1 teaspoon ground cloves with 2 tablespoons fullers earth and ice water. When you wash your face, use sugar to scrub it, at least once a day, for two weeks to rid yourself of acne. Check out http://useinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.

When I get these, I very gently push it back against my skull bone. By doing this several times throughout the day, it breaks up the bacteria inside that causes the pain. I also put a really, really hot washcloth on it, to help bring it to a head. Once at a head, I use Clean and Clear invisable coverage or whatever its called.

Let it come to a head and then deal with it. They hurt like hell sometimes, but that's the facts of life! You can also try putting a warm-moderately hot washcloth over it a few times a day. That tends to help me. If all else fails and you "need" it gone, you can go to a dermatologist who will help you out.

Try the Arbonne Clear Advantage system. It heals from the inside out, not just on the surface. You can see the system at mishelmaree.myarbonne.com

it's under your skin and your skin is really clogged up. you should be cleansing your face toning and moisturizing. cleansing with the right formula will wash away oil and dirt and makeup buildup that causes pores to clog. toning closes the pores so oil don't get out collecting dirt and buildup and clogging them. moisturizing makes sure oil don't get out and pores are close while protecting from the sun that causes sun damages for the skin.

Try using a benzoyl acid cream on them. Or steaming them with hot water. Also, some witch hazel would be good.....it's a liquid that you dab on with a cotton ball. Good luck.
