Thats just nasty, you should have gotten some cream for that and start washing your face a bit better? Or is the pimple on your lower side? Either way you should just wash better.

it's hard to believe but toothpaste can make your pimple worse.
i saw that on the tyra banks talkl show. b/c i put toothpaste on my pimple and tyra had a dermatoligest on there or something like that and the lady said that it would make the pimple worse b/c of some product that's in the toothpaste.
just use noxcema, that's what i use.
oh and when you use toothpaste it burns so don't do that any more. trust i've learned that the heard way.

My uncle used toothpaste on a zit in the middle of his forhead at the advice of his daughters. The zit became huge. The doctor said it was because of the toothpaste it drove the infection deeper into the tissue.
So stop using toothpaste.

Toothpaste is another of those home remedies that people believe to work; unfortunately, it doesn't. However, if you're determined to find out for yourself, sleep with it on overnight.
There is one home remedy I know of that DOES work; apple cider vinegar. Dab a bit onto your zit and you're good to go. It may sting a little, but it works. Some celebrities have supposedly been known to use it.

Mhm..I do this all the time. I wash my face at night and then put it on after that. Make sure you use a paste and make sure it's not a whitening kind.

I did that a couple nights for the full night. It made them go down, but my skin was red.

it will just make them a little bit smaller, i usually do the overnight thing, and take it off in the morning.
