What is a quick remedy to shrink a huge zit...?

Question

I got a huge zit on my cheek, what is a quick remedy to shrink it some...i normaly use the proactive mask but i'm all out...

Answer 1

It sounds weird, but put some toothpaste on it overnight.

It helps dry it out.

If you don't have the paste you could try gel, but I don't know if that works as well.

Also, you could try putting some rubbing alcohol onto it, but you want to make sure you only put it on the zit, it can really dry out your skin.  You can even reapply the alcohol several times after it has dried on your face.

Answer 2

Get something at Savvons. Wash it everyday for ten minutes...

Answer 3

toothpaste...careful not to much or it'll dry your  skin up

Answer 4

Hydrocortisone cream will work!  Or you can freeze a Q tip in clear eyes and rub it on it...the clear eyes helps the red and the cold shrinks it!  

Answer 5

try hemorrhoid cream. it helps with the inflammation. it will make is a lot smaller. really works. my husband uses it alot for his zits

Answer 6

put a little Neosporin on it. I did it and the redness/ swelling had gone down by the time i woke up.

Answer 7

Use aveeno anti-itch cream. It works great on zits... although it might sound weird! For even quicker... just put some ice on it for a minute or two.

Answer 8

Answer 9

listerine or preparation H

I'm not kidding...there is an ingredient in Prep H that works on zits.

Answer 10

i use clean and clear acne spot treatment. it works great. but when im all out of products and dont feel like going to get any i use tooth paste and leave it on over night.

Answer 11

try toothpaste it brings it up so that it goes away quicker. and try to exfoliate.  

Answer 12

Visine eye drops. (No joke- i have tried it. I got the tip from Glamour Fashion Magazine)

Answer 13

wash your face a lot, try not to touch it with your hand.. haha, and putting ice on it for a little bit usually helps. and i don't know why but putting white toothpaste on it overnight helps usually, it might not go completely away but you'll notice a difference.

Answer 14

thats a good question. :D

Answer 15

Put some toothpaste over it before you go to bed and clean it off the next morning and Tada!

Answer 16

I always recommend Proactive.  If you are all out then try Tea Tree Oil... If you don't have that then try a little dab of toothpaste.  Let the toothpaste dry before removing with a warm washcloth

Answer 17

extremely hot water on a wash cloth for a few minutes.
