actually...what most ppl dont realize is that a zit IS slightly different from a pimple. as gross as this may sound a zit usually has a bigger head(aka more puss) than just a regular pimple. a zit usually takes a slight bit longer to go away as well. the best way to get rid of them is any anit-acne cream/product or face cleanser. just dont pick at them. it could leave a scar. hope this helped and good luck ^_^

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

A pimple is something that is becoming a Zit...And a Zit is glob of infection that needs to be removed....The best treatment is really washing your face every morning and night along with some Pro-Active......Stay away from the sugars and you should do fine.

They are the same thing. The best thing to do is to put a warm compress on top of it for a few minutes and then LEAVE IT ALONE. Under no circumstance should you ever pop a zit/pimple.
Make sure you wash your face with a gentle soap (like Dove) every night to get rid of any dirt that's accumlated on your face over the course of the day. That should help keep them at bay.....
Good luck!

No difference, I prefer the term blemish.
Both mean acne. And to "get rid of them" you need a simple 3 step skincare system of a cleanser, toner and a moisturisor and an exfoliator for twice a week.
Do this morning and night and you'll find your skin in amazing condition.

Olay daily facial (great- daily exfoliant). use a washcloth...put toothpaste on the really big ones over night for 3-5 days- should dry out and come right off (with no scar).

The best way to get rid of them is to use Proactiv and not touch your face.

best way to get rid of them, don't pick at them. and go to dermatologist if needed if they are really bad. don't touch your face and keep your face cleansed.
