i am about a week and a half away from my period and i usualy get acne around this time. yesterday i woke up with this pimple right next to my mouth so when i smile or yawn it hurts. i wash my face at least once a day and use clearasil(when i can remember) but is there any way i can make it go away (or at least get smaller and stop hurting) by monday?

By itself, a pimple would go away or greatly diminish in the course of two days. To help speed up the process, I would suggest getting some benzoyl peroxide cream and putting it on the pimple twice a day.

I wash my face twice a day with Dial soap, because it dries out all of the oils on your skin. When I get a pimple, I put rubbing alcohol on it, or aloe vera. the REAL kind off the plant, not out of the squeeze bottle.
If the pimple is really bad, sometimes I pop it and squeeze the "juice" out of it and then put alcohol on it. If you did this you would need to squeeze it and reapply alcohol throughout the day. However, I do not suggest this...!

Be very careful with that pimple......I know you have heard about all of the Staph infections and MRSA going aorund. I would just try and leave it alone. Maybe dab some alcohol on it, alcohol has a drying effect. You must keep your hands very clean and away from the pimple.

I have heard about the toothpaste answer above. Also, Clearasil makes a 3 day acne. My niece has used it before and it worked.
Good luck!

Do NOT put JUST toothpaste on your pimples, after the toothpaste dries put some honey on at night and it will help with redness and smooth it down. Remember to wash and moisturize your face before everything!

it really takes time for acne to go away.. be sure when u sweat wipe it.. wash ur face at least 2 times a day,, u can use toothpaste or pimple gel so that the pimples can get dry..
DONT EVER SQUEEZE IT! EVEN THOUGH ITS TEMPTING TO..

Dab some alcohol on it, alcohol has a drying effect. You must keep your hands very clean and away from the pimple and from your mouth.

Ice down the pimple before bed, by morning it should be noticeably better. More such solutions at http://solutionsforpimples.blogspot.com/
