Apply Neosporin to it while you're at home.
Use a concealer for acne. ex. Maybelline Pure Concealer, Neutrogena or Clean & Clear concealer
Don't put powder over it - it will emphasize the roughness & flakes.
Wear neutral lip color & bring focus to your eyes (towards the top of your face) instead.
Avoid exposure to sunlight as it heals.

This is going to be a little gross, but take it from experience.
Here goes, pick off the scab (told you), put a tissue on it until it stops bleeding, then apply a big drop of vitamin E. Use the capsules, not the stuff in the bottle. wait about 10 minutes until it absorbs. Then apply a green correcting concealer sparingly to avoid a clumpy mess. Dab on your foundation, then carefully powder. This will be the best you can do until the scab is healed.
Leave it the E on overnight until it's healed.
Some people swear by Aloe Vera Gel. The kind from the plant not the junk in the bottle.
Also, model will actually put dark brown or black eyebrow pencil on the zit to make it look like a mole.

Try using an (on the spot remover). My favorite is (Origin's spot remover $10). It has oregano, which helps with the redness and swelling. Just make sure you use a q-tip to put it on and don't use the same end if you want to get some more. Also use a concealer on the spot. Some people recommend using green, which does neutralize the redness, but I've noticed it tends to look ashy. I prefer the yellow, which it said to neutralize mostly blue under eye circles. My favorite is (Physicians Formula yellow concealer). Don't get desperate and start pickin at it or you'll make it worse. It'll heal!!!

Follow Catherine's advice, then use a totally natural mineral makeup on your skin. The minerals give natural SPF so the scab will be les likely to leave a scar, minerals are healing and soothing on inflamed acne prone skin and (provided there isn't any added synthetic ingredients) it will not block your skin. Many leading brands of mineral makeup are as bad as regular makup, adding bismuth oxychloride, parabens etc that irritate and block skin. Use all natural skincare too.

Umm no recipies that I know of will help you dear, however try carbolic soap (can be bought at bulk barn or the organic store for 80 cents) and all natural organic 99% aloe vera that can be purchased at the organic store for $12. This also eliminates acne. Good Luck.

use some neosporen [ spelling?] or put aloe vera on it...also use foundation or concealer...and just dab it on until it looks smooth...but u really shouldnt put make up on it bc it need to breathe in order to heal...also try to avoid being in the sun bc the sun will cause a dark scar

its really retarded but it works, use toothpaste overnight only on the scab on your face and it will dry it up (good for pimples) i also think you could get like a prescription
