Answer 1

your benzoil peroxide will dry it out!!! don't put that on there!!! if it's still a pimple, like has a whitehead or something, it's okay, but if it's just dry skin, it's not! neosporin is great! don't touch or rub it a lot. don't scrub it either. if you have a special face lotion, that'd be great too. good luck in school tomorrow! if it's not gone by morning, just dab a little foundation on it.  

Answer 2

The pimple has a scab that is still attached because the skin underneath still needs the protection.  You have the scab because you picked at it, and damaged the skin.  Now you just have to wait for things to heal, sorry.  The more you put on it, the worse you will make matters, and you can actually lengthen the healing time.  I certainly wouldn't put on the benzoyl peroxide on it, as that will just irritate matters more.  The kindest thing you could do for this spot would be to leave it in peace.  Your skin already knows best what to do, and can do it better than you or I.  Keep your face clean and your hands off your face.  The neosporin has a petroleum base, and if you already have oily skin there, it doesn't particularly need any extra added in.  Much as you'd like the whole thing to disappear, the body just doesn't work that way.  Pick and poke at that scab, you could end up with a bigger pimple and a scar.  If you have some vitamin e capsules, poke a hole in one and use a drop of the oil on the spot.  Vitamin e is very quickly absorbed by skin and helps with healing.  If anything will help speed up repairs, that will.  For the future, remember picking, prodding and poking never helped a zit.  Try tea tree oil, a tiny drop on the spot in question.  Just use soap and water on your face to clean it, and witch hazel on a cotton pad to wipe down the skin.  Tea tree oil will either help stop a spot or help encourage healing.  Use the peroxide cream on blind zits, and only a tiny dab on the spot once a day.  It dries skin really badly, and dry skin can make matters worse.  I don't have links to give you, only a load of experience.  This is how I treated my skin as a teen, and how my teens do now.  We have two decades of experience, plus my professional experience.  I can tell you this works.  It's not fast, but it is effective, and it will leave you with fewer breakouts and no scars.  For now, unfortunately, you must live with the scab.  Leave your poor hide in peace to heal.  It doesn't need any more help, and it doesn't much appreciate what you've offered so far.
