OK here are a few cures I've used:
raw egg stirred up
nourtrigina on the spot treatment it dries clear
toothpaste will dry up zit
Clearisil foaming face wash
good luck and remember your wedding is about much more than what is on your face

This is what I do. It might work for you but Im not sure. You might want to try it if your deperate.
Try putting some water in the microwave and wait until it is hot. Then soak your towel in it and press it on your blemish for at least 5-10 minutes. [Of course this is just to reduce some of the swelling] Be sure that it doesn't get to cold, resoak it when it isn't hot enough.
And then after that I would dab some white colgate total toothpaste on the affected area. Really cake it on there. Have this on for a few hours. I usually sleep with it on. What also helps me sometimes is to put a bandaid on top of the toothpaste which is on top of the zit so that the toothpaste doesn't get on my pillow.
Hope you have a great wedding! Dont worry if that doesnt work, your veil will cover it anyway and people will probably be too busy thinking about cake to think about your zit. :)

DO NOT POP IT! When you pop zits, it puts that right back into your skin, that's why it will look red and irritated. Try steaming your face. Either get a washcloth hot, and hold it lightly on top, or boil a pot of water and sit with your head over the top of it with a towel around your head. The steam will help open your pores and hopefully take it down. Hope it works, congratulations!

Congradulations! First thing is first, calm down. Stress will only make it worse. Your body goes into its fight or flight mode when its stressed causing the pimple to get worse. Stop touching it unless your hands have just been washed and you are applying medication. Use a gentle face cleanser, that does not contain acne medication. Wash your face ever hour and a half. Apply a light mosturizer that won't clog your pores after each wash to avoid drying your whole face out. Avoid any other acne medications that your doctor has not prescribed to you. Using other OTC acne medications will cause you to over dry your face out and make it all red.
If your willing to pay the big bucks to make it go away. Go to your nearest walgreens and pickup a Zeno. Its about 149 dollars, but i have heard good things about it. It applies heat to the pimple, killing the bacteria built up inside.

I swear by Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask, but my little sister gets diaper rash cream! She says it gets rid of anything, even redness. She just uses the cheap Johnson & Johnson's white creamy stuff.
Either one you may choose, put on and leave on for several hours. Dont try too many things though, you might leave your face more irritated than before. Pick one or two things to try.
Good Luck!
I am sure you will look beautiful even if you still have a zit!

With toothpaste, becareful-don't pop the pimple and then use toothpaste, it stains like crazy also toothpaste for me worked at times and didn't other times so see if you can use something else before this and then try toothpaste. If your gonna pop the pimple-which i discourage, use toothpaste first to see if you can decrease the inflamation and then pop it. Also use it overnight. Don't worry that just makes the pimple crisis worse. Your gonna look wonderful tomarrow and congrats on your wedding.

So who are you marrying, your husband, or this zit? Don't worry about little things. Something ALWAYS go wrong, just roll with it, enjoy the wedding, and have a great life. Besides, the photographer can always retouch the pictures and get rid of it.

This has continuously worked for me - placed rubbing alcohol on Q-tip and carry it against it for a minute or 2 - do various circumstances. Then formerly you bypass to mattress, placed a dab of toothpaste on it so its stunning on it and properly lined. In morning, do the alcohol situation returned. no longer a lot time, so would desire to apply coverup after that.

Toothpaste helps. Apply it today to dry it out for tomorrow. Don't worry, it shouldn't be too noticeable. Apply make up and try to forget about it, I know, easier said than done, but it's going to be OK and you will have a great day! Congratulations!!!

White toothpaste dries it up fast. Don't pop it. It will become super red! Lemon juice also dries it up or witchhazel.
Have a great wedding! Congrats!
