I got a big ol' zit and my wedding is 23 days away

it's the biggest, grossest zit I ever had...i think it my spawn some babies it must be from all the stress...and it's right by my mouth too - how gross is that!

Any suggestions on how to get rid of it and to prevent any from developing???

TIA

Re: I got a big ol' zit and my wedding is 23 days away

really big -more csyt like- get a cortozone shot from a demotogolist

i would not ecomend changing you face rotine because that can make you break out more -

clear and clear has a clear liquid that works - can't remember the name - but it is a little container and you can see that it is clear

Don't despair. Because zits are bacteria-prone, take a cotton swab and swab it a few times a day with alcohol. That will kill any bacteria, and, hate to sound gross, but bring it to a 'head' so it can release the oil.

It's only a zit and you've got plenty of time for it to go away.

go to the dermatologist and get a cortisone shot...then some topical cream or ointment to dry it out quick. thats your best bet

That's exactly what I was thinking to do.

What about windex...It worked in 'My Big Fat Greek wedding'

Re: I got a big ol' zit and my wedding is 23 days away

whatever you do... don't pop it!!!!!

and 23 days is long enough for it to heal completely - don't worry!

Re: I got a big ol' zit and my wedding is 23 days away

Go To the dermatologist! I go whenever I get a crazy one the give you a little shot & it's gone in 2 days! It works.

They have this liquid...you can buy it in any pharmacy....it's a clear liquid that is not supposed to be shaken...and the bottom looks like beige...For the life of me, I can't think the name of it. This works pretty good.

ETA>> I searched on the web and found it. It costs $10 but it works real good.
It's called Bye Bye Blemish Lotion.
Here is a pic....

First of all don't pick it, I know you are, I can see you..................

You'll be fine in a few days, call the dermatologist and see if you can come in tonight.

Awesome, thanks everyone! I went to Duane Reade and bought the clean and clear and some astingent...hopefully that works!

Re: I got a big ol' zit and my wedding is 23 days away

Don't worry about it! I am sure makeup will cover it, even if it stays.

What ALWAYS works for me, is toothpaste. I know its weird, but I put it on over night, and than. Results are visible right away and after a couple of times its gone!

Becareful not to over use it. Sometimes it dries my face horribly and I start to peel.

Re: I got a big ol' zit and my wedding is 23 days away

I hear visine works also to take out the redness - as they say 'visine takes the red out'...

Re: I got a big ol' zit and my wedding is 23 days away

Origins. I love it. Get the zit zapping stuff and the face wash. It works wonders.
