like the nurse said, no the puss is too think. however if you are very neat and clean about it i'm sure you can use a CLEAN needle that is steralized to prick it clean and drain the puss out. emphasis on clean and sterile. that's why doctors tell you not to pop your own pimples, b/c your hands are dirty and can easily infect the pimples which can lead to worse pimples and scarring. the best thing to do is put a salicylic type OTC acne med on it and wait for it to heal.

If you are prone to acne, Proactiv is wonderful.  Otherwise just use Oxy pads or some other over-the-counter acne medicine to help dry it out.  Also, use a facial cleanser with gritty stuff in it every day.  Practiv has one as part of its program, and St Ives makes an apricot scrub.  They are great for cutting down on blackheads, which can later turn into pimples.

Antibiotics that have been shown to interact with birth control pills include rifampin (brand name Rifadin), penicillin (Veetids), amoxicillin (Amoxil), ampicillin (Omnipen), cotrimoxazole (Septra or Bactrim), tetracycline (Sumycin), minocycline (Minocin), metronidazole (Flagyl), and nitrofurantoin (Macrobid or Macrodantin). For at least one week afterward doctors generally recommend that you use a condom or spermicide as a back-up method of birth control. If you are taking both antibiotics and birth control pills, be sure to check with your doctor about how long you should continue to use a back-up method.

It is extremely possible that no matter how many topical treatments you use that your acne will not go away.  Topicals that you get from the drug store are generally used for "a lite case of pimples".  If you have actual acne - you need to see a Dermatologist, and he/she will probably put you on an antibacterial antibiotic in combination with another antibiotic.  He/She will probably also give you prescribed topicals that are stronger.

A zit and a pimple are the same thing, so it could've been a blood bubble under one (Pimples bleed if squeezed too hard), and a wart would really hurt if u tried to pop it. White toothpaste really does work if put on pimples b4 u go 2 bed.

See a dermatologist.  You may just need a prescription for antibiotics (yes, for zits).  Also, I recommend finding out for SURE about your allergies.  It could save your life.

Hi,\nSolutions for acne that is resistant to treatment:\n\nInvestigate compliance\nIncrease frequency of topical treatment\nBegin or increase oral antibiotic dosage\nSearch for hormonal derangement\nBegin oral isotretinoin therapy\n\nOral treatment:\n\nAcne that is resistant to topical treatment requires oral antibiotics. Many of the antibiotics useful in acne also have an anti-inflammatory activity, which is nearly as important as their effect on the P acnes itself. Oral erythromycin used to be a common treatment for acne, but the rise of resistance has greatly reduced its utility. It is necessary to begin the treatment with doxycycline or minocylcine. Acquired resistance to minocycline and doxycycline is less common than to erythromycin but is still a concern, and use of these drugs should be limited to those patients who truly need them. Patients are instructed to take the drug with food this minimises stomach complaints and maximises compliance. If minocycline or doxycycline cannot be used, alternatives include co-trimoxazole and ciprofloxacin. Risk of acquiring resistance to these drugs after long-term use has not been studied, but the use of these drugs should be minimised. In general, cephalosporins and penicillins are not very effective in treating acne. The increased cost of some of these newer drugs may make using isotretinoin an attractive option in the long-term treatment.\n\nHormonal treatment:\n\nIt is wrong to assume that any woman with acne have a hormonal derangement. In fact, androgen levels do not correlate with acne severity among people with acne. Acne resistant to treatment, especially in a woman with irregular menses, should be investigated. Measurements of total and free testosterone as well as dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate. If these levels are raised, four approaches may be taken: suppression with low dose oral corticosteroid, oral contraception, cyproterone acetate or spironolactone.\n\nIsotretinoin revolutionised the treatment of severe acne. It is used in case of severe nodular acne, but it is commonly used for severe acne that is resistant to oral antibiotics as well. Patients should be monitored routinely. \n\nFeel Freeto contact\n\nDr.Mojo

get a face scrub with an active ingredient(like salicylic acid).  Use twice(or more) daily.  Also, maybe you should see a dermatolagist.  Even your regular doctor might prescribe anti-biotics(sometimes bacteria is the source of break-outs) or pledgettes

Most likely, Clindamycin, which is an antibiotic (usually used for acne or infections).

I have had horrible acne too, but now have clear skin without breakouts.    What I did to get this is went to a doctor, he prescribed doxycylcline to me.   It is an antibiotic that I take every day.   It is low dose, but it is enough to keep the acne away.   Acne is often caused by too much of a bacteria called p.acnes on the face.   It is normal to have this bacteria but in acne patients it gets clogged up in our pores due to them being irregularly shaped compared to someone without acne and it gets stuck in there with the skin oils.   This causes a plug up and that is what results in an acne flare.   The bacteria overgrows and it spreads on the face/neck/back wherever you have it.   The only way to rid of the overabundance of p.acnes is antibiotics, no facewash will help if this is your acne cause, it will demand antibiotic treatment.    \n\nA second medication I  use is retin-a.   This helps my skin to shed off dead cells, making my skin appear healthier.   I tried so many other things, proactive, tea tree oil, tazorac etc, but nothing did my acne justice like what I am doing now.   I am telling you, I swear by it

You know what works really well to get rid of pimple redness, eyedrops. No lie, it really works. Get eyedrops specifically designed to get rid of bloodshot eyes. Just put a few drops on pimple. It works.\nbefore hand you might use hot compresses to draw out the puss. good luck.I hope it works.

Start eating yogurt.  If you need to go on antibiotics you will have some protection from the side effects.

eliminate all sugar and white four and yeasty products...drink Kefer everyday. Use extra virgin coconut oil for topical relief.Take a quality probiotic to get your natural flora back in balance...antibiotics can cause cadida. You can find things mentioned above at a health food store.Be Well
