How to deal with pimples?

Question

You wake up in the morning only to find a giant pimple on your face. Whats the best way to deal with it? I know popping it is like the worst thing you can do, but i'd rather pop it then have it on my face for the hole day i would think...

and is there any getting rid of pimple scars? (red spots from past pimples)

Answer 1

The best tip I ever got was to use lemons. Dab it on with a cotton tip.Open the pores with warm water first. Use a clay mask once a week.

For pimple scars, try bio oil.

Answer 2

Oh boy, we have all dealt with this..the T zone, the chin, etc. What are you eating? Watch the grease intake. Don't touch it. You are only spreading germs. Keep your face clean. There are over the counter treatments for this.

Answer 3

I tell you...the best thing I have ever used is St. Ives apricot scrub and Noxzema face cleanser.  For it to work you can only use the original apricot scrub.  You scrub your face for about a minute with the St. Ives, rinse, apply Noxzema, rub in circular motions for about a minute, rinse.  Your face will feel cool and very clean.  I used this and I do not have acne anymore.  I saw a difference in my skin tone my first time I used it.  TRUST ME! It works.  And no, I'm not trying to sell this stuff, I'm just trying to help you out :)  

Popping pimples can leave scars, but as far as getting rid of the scars already there...I'm not really sure.  What I mentioned above may help reduce the appearance of them because it REALLY evens out your skin tone.

I used proactive and it did nothing for me, but it does say results WILL vary.  My friend used it and it worked alright for her.  She didn't really get any big white zits but she never could get rid of those little skin colored bumps and black heads.

I would say to use the scrub and Noxzema! It works really good.  I use it every morning.

Answer 4

you can use cover up but why pop it i mean it goes away on its own

Answer 5

I went to the docter because I had really bad acne and they gave me these special pills that you have to take everyday after you eat and after a week if u continue using the pills your acne should be clearing up. To get rid of the scars I use a vitamin A cream which was also perscribed by the docter.

Answer 6

i use immediate response acne care and also if u have oily hair that cud be the cause. Drink less pop eat less choclate

Answer 7

i've had that stuff. stay away from coke and stuff. i stopped drinking coke to lose weight and my skin looks a lot better, i would try a hot compress and dont pop it. i dont really have scars or red spots from popping them, and im really really fair skinned

Answer 8

Put alcohol on them.

Answer 9

if you're young (16-18) then this might be just a phase and i reccomend washing your face with gentle cleansers that contain salycylic acid not benzoyl peroxide. and you musn't use any sort of scrub, becuz scrubs are agressive and will most likely spread the bacteria from one small pimple and create a worls of pain. Only use scrubs when ur face is pimple free.

If ur older (19 and beyond) i suggest using accutane if ur acne problem persists.

GOOD LUCK

For a quick fix you can place a warm wet tea bag over the area or a cotton ball dipped in lemon juice (don't use lemon juice if you have a sensitive skin). Check out http://solutionsforpimples.blogspot.com/ for more info and home remedies.
