If the pimple is pusy, pop it! I was told to use two q-tips instead of your finger nails to avoid scarring. But if it is pusy it means it is ready to pop so it should take much to pop it. If you have time, and don't want to pop, just put alcohol on it every day to dry the pus up. Then when the day comes, if you still have redness have a female put the coverup on for you, so it's not obvious. I think that is fine. I actually feel sorry for men b/c you guys don't really have any other way to deal with pimples besides just walking around with them, so if you feel comfortable enough to cover it up a little, I say go for it. But you're right, makeup won't cover up the white pusy part, so that's why you want to try and get rid of that part. Also, if it gets really red, you can put visine on it, it gets the red out of your skin the same way it does your eyes.

To get rid of the spot wash your face 2 times a day with a cleanser and try not to touch it. TCP can be really effective but obviously it smells so use it at night and only use a small amount! I once had one on my nose and put so much TCP on it was unbelieveable and the next day in school, im not kidding my nose went bright red and at the end of the day a layer of skin came off it haha!, it was absolutly awful but a small amount should get rid of it and dont worry i used a hell of a lot for that to happen. Also you could try t-zone zit zapper i think its called
But if it doesnt go away then yeah, I think if it blends well with your skin and doesnt look as if your wearing make-up then it should be fine
You need to use concealer rather than foundation though x

Use a stick foundation or cream concealor which will have more coverage and a light amount of translucent powder 2 set and u should be all good....if u have time prior to the wedding try and dry out the blemish I would suggest Mario Bedescu they have an excellent treatment that should dry out the blemish over night

ur derm,, is right but we do it anyway i would take two qtips and lightly pick at it until the puss comes out, then take a dab of toothpaste and put it on top and be patient after like ten minutes, wash it and make sure u cleanse ur face and apply pimple creme on it before the wedding do this and it should get smaller, also if u dont wanna pop it just put some ice in a cloth and put it on top of the pimple this shrinks it in size u can wear foudnation but it will tend to pop out a little more than leaving it, but make sure u blend it in naturally

sure...why not? They do sell concealers in the store that you could use as well.
Tip: wet your finger and dab it on a bar of dial gold soap and rub it on your zit and let dry.
Have fun at the wedding! Check real close on the bride and groom also to see if they may be covering up any "nervous bumps". lol.

Your Dermatologist is right. Here's what I would do: take a washcloth and get it wet with hot water. Then apply it to the zit. Re-fold the washcloth and wet it again if necessary. This will help speed up the course of the zit and it'll resolve itself on its own, and come to a head sooner. While doing this, keep your skin clean and moisturized.

normally i would say NOOOOOOOOOO a straight man cannot wear foundation on a zit, just be man and tough it out BUT if your in a wedding u need to look good to make the groom look good so use a face scrub to peel away any dead flaky skin around it, use a moisturizer if u hav one over the pimple alone, then dab a LITTLE tiny bit of foundation over it. then PAT it in. and u must MUST make sure its not obvious. good luck!!!

Since you have a dermatologist call him and tell him you ant to get a steroid shot. It's not the world's most pleasant experience, but it's not horrible either, and the cyst is gone in 1-2 days WITHOUT a scar. In short, the shots are great.

I find it hilarious that this question is in the homo section. But yeah its fine as long as no one knows. I have no idea why its socially unacceptable to be a straight man trying to look his best. Go with the blendable kind. Also dont use alot. There is no reason to be a cake face. Just enough to cover pimpels

yes, by all means! just because your a man does not mean you should have to suffer through the embarrassment of a zit especially at a wedding!
