Put tooth paste on it be for bed and wash it off in the morning. My grandma told me about this and it always works 4 me :) Good luck

sounds like a little cyst. You could try a facial mask but a doctor would really need to handle it so there wasn't any scarring.

pop it. u could actually play surgon and remove it with a knife but that might hurt a little.

Popping your pimples could lead to scarring in the future, so I would advise against it. My father is a pharmacutical sales representative who works with lotions and acne treatments. He says that Pro-Active really isn't a good product and is made of unsuccessful products.

I have always used Differin from Galderma which you can get at a pharmacy. It's really powerful and zaps away problems zits and pimples while also preventing onces in the future. I have yet to have a giant zit.

If you don't have the time to get a new product, there is an at home remedy of toothpaste on the zit. Many people think that it will dry out the pimple and hopefully lessen the swelling or redness.

if you picked on it, and it turned red, there is no way you can turn it back to normal before 4 days, you might want to cover it with with a patch, and say you hitted ur self, i recomend getting antibiotic cream. or antibiotic pills, i used to have a lot of acne, and it came out with pills, ask a pharmacist, or maybe you will want to spend some time with a dermatologist.

I would get a saftey pin, put it in burning hot water stick it throught the top layer of the zit. And then get to cotton swabs and squeeze the puss out. When it bleeds your done. Lastly put a dab of the refining mask over it and leave it on all night. ( Works for me all the time :)

pop it cuz sometimes they dont go away if there is puss in them. make sure u put a hot cloth on your face to open it up first so you dont scar yourself then use a tonner after.

Calamine lotion has the same drying effect like toothpaste so you can apply it overnight and wash the next day. More such solutions at http://solutionsforpimples.blogspot.com/
