I have a pimple on my nose how can i get rid of it!?!?!?

Question

i have a pimple on my nose

and its one of those ones that just wont pop

and its pretty big

and makes my nose real red

and i start school in 1 day

how can i get rid of it????

please help!

Answer 1

Well I am sure it won't go away in one day, try putting a little bit of foundation on it when you get ready for school tomorrow. If you don't know what foundation is it's the skin coloured stuff your mum using to cover her pimples =D

Goodluck!

Answer 2

get a wet HOT wash clothe and put it on the pimple to pull the white head out.

Answer 3

The best product I've found so far is Origins Out of Trouble.  It's a mask, but I dab a little bit on the pimple and leave it overnight.  Helps dry it up instantly.  It costs $21, which can be a little pricey, so if you want a cheaper option you can try Queen Helene's Mint Julep mask.  I've found they're pretty comparable.  It also costs much less at $3.99, and you can find it at most drugstores.

Answer 4

scratch it  off and put proactive on it

Answer 5

Benzac AC - you are supposed to go in stages (that's how strong it is). Rather than starting on 2.5% skip to 5%. put a dab on your nose and cover with a band-aid then leave over night. It will shock the pimple like when you start on anti-biotics and you have a double dose to shock the virus. CAREFUL - it bleaches clothes. You can get it in your local pharmacy

Answer 6

u know those eye drops that make your eyes less red? put a drop of that on r nose after a hot shower and wait bout 5 min. should be less red or not red at all. there's probably only gonna be a bump there.

Answer 7

wash your hands with a face cleaner and wash your face as well with warm water.

Get two q tips and pop it with those instead of your fingers. It will be easier that way and your oils on your hands won't make it worse. But like I said, wash your hands just in case.

Stop popping it when you start to bleed because that will cause scars. And if it is really hard to pop, wet a towel/cloth with hot water (as hot as your face can tolerate) and place the towel/cloth on your face for about 5 minutes to open your pores.

After five minutes, try piping it again (with a different pair of q tips) and keep repeating the warm towel process until it pops.

Hope I helped. [=

Answer 8

putting honey or toothpaste on it really does work...i tried it, and DON'T try to pop it...it may leave a scar there

Answer 9

well i have almost the same problem

you cant get rid of it in 1 day sadly :[

but what i did was i sucked up the pain and kept popping it to make it bleed

then i put some neosporin on it and after one it was a lot lighter and less noticeable :]

i hope it works for you too!

Answer 10

Alright my man.

So whatcher gonna need to do is get some rubbing alcohol, and Q-Tips or Cotton Balls.

Saturate the cotton ball or q-top, and lightly rub on the pimple.  

It will hurt, but that means it's working.  It will just dry that bad boy up and it will begin to get smaller.

Good Luck with School.

Answer 11

Iam a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.

If your skin is dry form over the counter acne products that's a case in most people. Reason being is because they contain too much benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or sulfur.  Too much of it can OVER DRY, IRRITATE and cause IRRITATION!!!

In my experience of 12 years alot of commercial store bought products DO NOT WORK!

As far as scrubbing or exfoliating it depends on your age. You dont want to over scrub or exfoliate because depending on your breakouts you may end up spreading the bacteria from one breakout to the other making it worse!

PLEASE READ THIS WITH YOUR MOM if you are under 18, I have a great solution for you!

Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it's a broad question!

Your age plays a role! How old are you? Do you always have breakouts?

However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.

Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.

However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.

If you are a teenager ( which I assume that you are) your hormones play a definite role in your breakouts.

If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.

The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.

The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples' needs.

Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?

Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:

www.aboutyourskincare.com

You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.

Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.

They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that's great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it's gone. It's truely magic in a bottle.

A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you're a young girl you will need fewer products than this):

Night time:

1. Exfoliate the skin

2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).

4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts

5. Moisturizer

Morning:

1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

2. Moisturizing cream

The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com

Good Luck to you,

Answer 12

put ice on it then rub a FRESH lemon on it it will take the redness ans swelling away.

the more you mess with it the more red it gets, ir you may end up with a big ugly scab, so leave it alone!

When it gets a white spot and it's ready to pop, poke the white part with a needle then squeeze and clean the area and put ice and lemon on it again.

Answer 13

Don't wear makeup on it. Wash it and make sure it's never oily. If you have any alcohol pads or salicylic acid or anything of that nature, use it lol. Keep it very clean. And If it's a whitehead or a pimple with pus in it, pop it. I know people say not to but It's the easiest way to get rid of it. Put a toner on it to reduce redness. (: Good luck

Answer 14

sounds like a cyst/nodule i hate those mofos

ice it for 10 min then soak it in warm water for 10 mins repeating the process it will go shrink

Answer 15

You won't get rid of it before school. It sucks, but you'll look back in laugh one day.

what you can do to make it go away faster:

the proactiv mask- it contains sulfur and i think thats what makes it work so well. i don;t know why, but it really works.

Zeno www.myzeno.com check it out, it'll help you for future breakouts but i don't think it ships overnight

benzoyl peroxide products (face washes)

salt water

put ice on it to reduce swelling

get your mom to buy you some good concealer to put on it until it goes away

good luck!

Answer 16

just wear a band aid and say you cut your nose shaving

Answer 17

Take a very hot wash cloth and scrub your nose for about a minute, every once in a while stop scrubbing and just hold the hot wash cloth on your nose. This will cause your pours to open up, making it easier to release the puss in the white head. after about a minute of scrubbing and holding, try popping the pimple with the was cloth, make sure you wash your nose immediately after the white head is released, to prevent spreading the puss and other contaminates that might cause another pimple to sprout. After its all said and done, take the same wash cloth and wash  your face with COLD water, this will cause your pours to close and won't catch any more dirt.

Answer 18
