Ugh Just Popped A Zit.....Now What?

Question

Like the quickest way to get rid of the redness

right now there is neosporin on it....

Yes ik i should'nt have popped it but....what do i do

Answer 1

DONT USE RUBBING ALCOHOL! that will only irritate it. You can smash up an advil or 2 and mix it with a few drops of water until its pastey and put it on, or put some ice on it. Thats the only way to bring down the swelling.. But mostly just put some acne medicine on it and go to sleep.. sleep always heals your skin

Answer 2

rubbing alchohol or something that'll help it dry out.  

Answer 3

umm use tonic or w.e if u got none then use rubbing alcohol i think. lol

Answer 4

I used to let the redness go down on its own......when I get pimples I use this stuff called clean & clear advantage acne spot treatment....what u do is you put it on the areas where you have pimples like 3 or 4 times a day and it helps get rid of the pimple....i personally love it and it doesnt dry out your skin.....its a little silver tube and has a purple top you can buy it at any drugstore or walmart & target.....hope it helps!

Answer 5

You have to use something that is antibacterial otherwise it wont get cleaned out. here is what I do. I hold very warm water to it before I pop it to open the pore. Then I sterilize a needle and prick the very top of the pimple to make the pus to come out and so you don't have to push as hard and make a worse scar. Then I put tea tree oil on it right after I pop it when the pore is still open. Then I wet a cotton swab with witch hazel and put it on top of a piece of ice and hold it there. Don't put pressure with the ice and don't do too long or you will actually get burned from the ice. lol. Once I am done with the ice I use aloe vera straight from the plant and apply it and it makes the redness go away. Best time to pop a pimple is before bed and to apply the aloe vera before bed while you sleep. Also there is a huge difference between the aloe vera at Walgreens and the one from the plant. The one from the plant is way better.

Thanks for answering my question =)

Normally after i popped my zit i would splash lots of cold water on my face or use a cold towel/ice and put on it for some time. The swell and redness will eventually goes away soon.

If you are afraid that bacterial are still there, use an anti-bacterial cleanser and cleanse that area before you wash up.

In my own opinion, sometimes the more products you put on it, the worst it will get. So i would say just like it heal naturally. Sleeping early does help to heal zit fast too~

Good luck! =)
