Did it pop? \n It's true that you shouldn't pop zits, but if it's a whitehead (as opposed to a red inflammed pimple) you actually can pop it. Details are in the link below.\n If you only have one or two zits, proactiv probably isn't needed. You can spot treat it with a benzoyl peroxide product(drugstores sell this in the skincare department. Brands like neutrogena and clearasil sell acne creams which contain it).\n Other than that, you can just wait it out. It will eventually go away on its own, probably in about a week.

Clean your face with a mild natural soap. Use lavender oil (100%) and it will heal acne and pimples very quickly. Put the oil on each blemish twice a day. A little goes a long way. Go to your local health food store to find the oil. I even mix some in with my face and body lotion.

Proactiv has always really been fantastic for any type of acne. They sell a body scrum that you can use on your back that should help clear it all up. Good luck!

Pimples are a result of a chemical imbalance in the body this is sometimes brought on by stress, not eating right, and even lack of exercise.  Take a multi vitamin daily, wash your face twice daily and use an acne clenser or follow up with an acne fighting astringent.  This will help keep the skin clensed and keep new ones from forming.  As for the current ones use a "sopt fighter" at night and this will help shrink them.  If this dont work you might have to go to a dermatologist to get something stronger.  Good Luck!

My old roommate had a bad skin problem and she used to put toothpaste on her pimples be3fore she would go to bed at night. It dried them up and made it better, but she did not get completely rid of her acne until she used Proactive Solutions. It really does work. Best of luck!

It's impossible to keep pimples from breaking out that's apart of puberty and life, but to prevent them from coming then eat fruits and vegetables drink water, have a healthier way of eating.  Pimples are caused by the pores being clogged and by producing too much oil or sebum from your sebaceous glands that can form either a white head or a black head.  So wash your face with something that has benzol peroxide in it or salic acid, and use an on the spot acne medication, The best stuff to use depends on your face type whether you have dry or oily skin or a combination of both.  So you have to find a cleanser that won't overdry your skin, or make it too oily.  Recommended products Neutrogena on the spot acne cream, only has 2.5 % benzol peroxide so it won't dry your skin too much, and Clearsil daily face wash guarenteed to clear skin in 3 days.  That's the cheap route, and it works.  Other than that you can use an astringent or toner all of them are pretty much the same but some can overdry your skin so you just have to test them to see which ones are best for your facial type, and those are good to use after doing some sweating and with make-up to take it off.  Sometimes having too much make-up on can clog your pores so use a light base so that none of the cosmetics can still be left behind.  Last, wash your face in the shower, and you don't need to use everything morning and night, You'll notice if you need to wash more than once a day, if it overdrys your skin, or if your skin is too oily.  Use the on the spot medication at night only so that your skin won't feel tight and dry all day long.

hormones and stress cause acne.  Sometimes if you are not eating healthy that will cause some pimples.  Try lots of water (8 glasses a day) veggies and fruit, exercise and lay off the sweets!

well, it seems you only have one pimple, so I think you should get a Stridex or Oxy pad or buy some cream and use it overnight and then it will be gone the next morning probably.

That depends on whether they are pimples or calcium deposits.  Either way, the best way to get rid of them would be to see a dermatologist.  They can prescribe a treatment or medication to help clear skin if it is acne. Or if it is calcium deposits, they will normally do a skin treatment to remove the outermost layer of skin then prescribe a medication to help absorb excess calcium in your body.

Acne is normally caused by the hormonal changes in your body. Washing is one of the ways to Lower the amount of pimples you get, but not the only way. The oil glands in your hair and skin produce a specific type of oil lubricant, Sebum, but as a teen’s body matures hormones cause these glands to go into overdrive and produce more than necessary. Your pores become clogged and a bacteria gets trapped inside, that bacteria cause’s acne.\n\nNow washing your face two or three times a day can help prevent the buildup of oils, but make sure you DO NOT SCRUB HARD. Washing your face as gently as you can helps, Scrubbing with pressure actually worsens it by irritating your skin and pores! \n\nIf you wear makeup or sunscreen, make sure it's labeled "oil free," "noncomedogenic," or "nonacnegenic." This means it won't clog your pores and contribute to acne. And when you are washing your face, be sure you take the time to remove all of your makeup so it doesn't clog your pores. If you use hair sprays or gels, try to keep them away from your face, as they can also clog pores. If you have long hair that touches your face, be sure to wash it frequently enough to keep oil away.\n\nThere are many over-the-counter lotions and creams containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide available to help prevent acne and clear it up at the same time. You can experiment with these to see which helps. Be sure to follow the instructions exactly - don't use more than you're supposed to at one time, as your skin may get too dried out and feel and look worse.\n\nSometimes even though they wash properly and try lotions and oil-free makeup, people get acne anyway - and this is totally normal. In fact, some girls who normally have a handle on their acne may find that it comes out a few days before they get their period. This is called premenstrual acne, and about seven out of 10 women get it from changes in hormones in the body.\n\nIf you look in the mirror and see a pimple, don't touch it, squeeze it, or pick at it. This might be hard to do - it can be pretty tempting to try to get rid of a pimple. But when you play around with pimples, you can cause even more inflammation by poking at them or opening them up. Plus, the oil from your hands can't help! More importantly, though, picking at pimples can leave tiny, permanent scars on your face.\n\nAcne is passed on from your parents ask them about their Acne. What helped them may work for you; there is no one single cure for Acne.\n\nFission\n\nNOTE: Some people believe that foods and stress cause breakouts. These are Myths, they are not true.\n\nAcne isn't caused by eating greasy foods like french fries or pizza, chomping on chocolate, or drinking sodas. Stress doesn't usually cause acne either (although it can make existing acne worse because stress increases sebum production).\nThere are also myths about what helps make acne better. Acne isn't really helped by the sun. Although a tan can temporarily make acne look less severe, it won't help it go away permanently - and some people find that the oils their skin produces after being in the sun make their pimples worse.
