[miaheatlvr]

Have a red pimple under my nose, there is no white cap YET to pop and push! What are your quick fix pimple remedies? Please share your ideas! I have an Important meeting on Thursday! Regards!

I don't think there is a quick fix... on my big fat greek wedding they used windex.
You shouldn't touch it.

 

[cowfishrule]

dont mess with it.
messing with it will either prolong or piss it off.

I heard you're suppose to directly apply some ice to the pimple to minimize swelling? But yea, don't pick or poke at it.

poke it with a pin, and squirt lemon juice in it. burns like hell but it works.

try joe's juice

put the paste(not gel) type toothpaste on it, then rinse off after overnight or a few hours. it will take out alot of the redness it wont get rid of it but will make it look a little better if ya have to be in pics or something that day

Put some windex on it

whatever you do, DON'T PUSH IT. you'll end up forcing the bacteria further down into your poer, making it take longer to come to a head, making it more painful, making it bigger, and you'll end up with a nasty red mark for much longer than you would have if ud left it alone.
When I get one of these, I use calamine lotion on it - calamine is extremely drying - which is what you want. You want to dry up the oils in the zit, and calamine lotion will help draw them up and out of your skin. just make sure to rinse it and reapply every 2hours or so - and definitely leave a thick coating on there overnight.

alpha hydroxy.

I had a great aunt that made my cousin put a sliver of un cooked bacon and a bandaid over it for the night. NO JOKE!! By the morning it had gotten white and she popped it. So, I don't know if it worked or not..

bacon? really? youd think thatd make it worse.

i could totally see why a piece of raw zit juice covered bacon would make a person hungry...

 

[coraljunky]

I have heard and used a hot compress or hot water wash cloth to make the pimple rise to the skins surface. You may need to reheat the cloth a few times but it works.

 

[jmick]

haha, you could pay some homeless person to suck it out

 

[lovethesea]

I thought of that after I posted my cousins "cure".
It was pretty nasty.
