put a clean rag under the hottest water you can get out of ur sink then place it on the spot where the zit is and hold it there for like 5 minutes (you're going to have to run the rag back under the water to get it hot again a few times)
then pop the zit with the rag on ur finger tips (prevents scratching ur skin)
squeeze it until only blood comes out then wash ur face and maybe put w/e acne cream you use on it

you might want to take a couple advil or something before you do this..it will keep the swelling and redness down after you pop it

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.

To avoid popping it, use a pimple cream with an ingredient called Benzoyl Peroxide as the active ingredient that kills acne bacteria (which you can find in any drugstore). Apply this lightly every 5 hours. Drink a lot of water. Hopefully, it won't turn white, and just heal.

Don't squeeze it, it may be a cold sore, there are medications you can purchase over the counter. Go see a pharmacist he will tell you if you need a doctor to look at it.

There are no overnight cures for pimples unfortunatly but squeezing them makes the problem worst.

If you have oily type skin that causes this problem you can try using an astringent after you wash your face, it helps. Good luck

Baking Soda Works Wonders instantly.. Trying Baking Soda with a couple drops (2) of Honey (for added moisture) This is the new thing and very cheap too. Mixed with water, you want it to become almost like pancake batter and then you will need to rub on your face in circular motions.

you can squeez it out or pop it, but in that area you run risk of inffection if you do it those ways. The best way is to cover it with a very warm cloth, not to hot, but the temp you can stand intill it gets loose then you can pop it with no bad affects

I have heard that putting toothpaste on a pimple helps but I have never tried it.

pop it and put rubbing alcohol on it, and it will dry up. and keep putting it on there alot. and it will dry up and go away. or u can use clearsil spor treatment that works real good. but just try to rubbing alcohol first and see if that works

Try dabbing it with a cotton wool pad steeped in hot water.
