Answer 2

Pimples under the skin are hard to get rid of.  Does it look like a white head??  I had a few pimples under the skin and my advice to you is don't pop it on your own.  I would advice to go to a spa or dermatologists office and have it lanced.  You risk scarring if you do it yourself.  Trust me.

Answer 3

first of all never tough your face with your bare hand the bacteria is of your hands is a common way people get pimples the next thing you do is take a cotton swab and put some rubbing alcohol on it and hold it on your pimple for about ten seconds do this 6-12 times a day this may seem like a lot though it will be gone in a day. hope this helps!

Answer 4

huney all u gotta do is wash your face with soap twice a day, put a warm washcloth on it first though so it will dense your skin after cleansing ur face, put some astrigent from clean and clear on the effected area and then a clean and clear mask over it keep it on 4 5min. then wash it off. it wont go away right away... but after 3-5 day it will get really better! best of luck   xoxo

Answer 5

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

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

As  I suggested and click on the ASK FOR FREE section send them an email and you will get free expert skin care advice.

Answer 6

That sounds more like a zit than a pimple to me.

It does take sometime for all of it to go away though.

My advice:

wash your face twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening before you go to sleep.

if you haven't changed your pillowcase in awhile I advise that you do so now. Sometimes you drool and sweat in your sleep and that ends up on your pillow so when you sleep on it, all that nasty stuff goes into your pores and clogs them.

use a gel or cream that's a spot acne treatment. Neutrogena has a great one that you can find at any drug store. I usually apply it in the evening after I wash my face. Try not applying it more than twice a day because it will dry out the area to much and may begin to flake.

After a day you shouldn't feel as much pain as you did before.

And DO NOT touch your face or the zit/pimple with unwashed hands.

Answer 7

Wash skin

Use a hot wash cloth and apply compresses on and off

Dont pick (Apply some zit cream)

Future:  I use proactiv

Answer 8

ouch those really hurt try not to touch it or pop it and put acne medicine on it and it should go away in about a week make sure you put the medicine on 3 times a day or more if you want
