Your best bet is a dermatologist but if you can't afford it you can go to acne.org they have messageboards galore and a regimen that you can try.  They deal with everything about acne, scarring, piting etc.

If your picture is in two days, that's really not that much time for it to heal completely.  \n\nA few suggestions that can make it better... you can try going into a dermatologist and seeing if they can inject the pimples with an antibiotic.  This can drastically reduce the size in a very short amount of time.  Might cost you a little though.  You could try going in and getting a facial (done by a really good professional) and they can do very careful extractions for you.  \n\nOtherwise I'd just try to continue cleansing your face in the morning and at night, and apply a topical medication.

Acne is a serious skin disease and tough to cope with,unfortunately. As to your question depends on the pimple, if you pick it in most cases after quite every pimple is leaving a blemish,which is not good looking. But if you see a scarred face,caused by acne, it would probably took years to appear that worse. I mean that there are pimples, which are leaving deeper scars and they do not fade away or erase and stay. Year after year the scars occur more and more. So it is very important the acne to be cured by a dermatologists on time.\nHope that is of help.\nHave a great day!

ProActive has really worked for me, and it will help with new breakouts.  Once you get this under control, microdermabrasion will help with the scarring. Stay out of the sun, too. That will make scars worse. Taking Vitamin C and zinc will help  your body repair itself, too.\nBest wishes

do a little of both.  try neosporin and a bandaid during the day and air it out at night.  you dont want it to stay too moist, but if you let it dry out it causes scaring

Use pore strips (like Biore) and a pore-refining toner and moisturizer to keep them from coming back.

1.  Wet a wash cloth with hot tap water, as hot as you can handle. \n\n2.  Put it on the zit for about 10 minutes. The longer you leave it on, the better. It will help to bring the impurities the surface.\n\n3. Gently squeeze it (NO NAIL ACTION!!!). \n\n4. Leave it alone until it has settled (minimum of 1 hour). No picking, ice cube will help here as well.\n\n5. Before bed dab on the toothpaste (as mentioned in previous postings, don't use the gels).\n\n6. In the morning remove paste and  dab on a little bit of concealer.\n\nGood Luck!!!\n\nP.S. Hot wash cloth is going to sting a bit so be prepared.\nIt really works, I did this before my formal.

Stop trying to pop it, it will only make it more irritated, and could even leave a scar.  Keep using the Proactiv.  The best way I have found to get rid of pimples in 2-3 days is Clean and Clear's Persa-Gel 10.  It works miracles.

there is a neutrogena face peel for reduced acne scars they also have a 3 piece anti acne face wash that works pretty well.  there is no reason to feel ashamed of yourself

Not a doctor, but you could use a butterfly plaster, that holds the skin together well, and when it's healed up, use BIO OIL, it's good for reducing the signs of scarring, for old and new scars

Cover the blemish with a dab of honey and place a Band-Aid over it. Honey kills the \nbacteria, keeps the skin sterile, and  speeds healing. \nWorks overnight.

Okay here is what you do....\n\n1.) Take a hot rag and hold it over the pimple for 5 minutes so get it soft\n\n2.) Pop the pimple the best that you can\n\n3.) Put some toothpaste on it (IT IS GOING TO STING LIKE HELL!!)\n\n4.) Wait about an hour and clean the toothpaste off\n\n5.) Cover the whole pimple with neosporin\n\n6.) In the morning it won't be completely gone but it will look 100% better!!
