Re: PIMPLE!!

apply oxy pads, or simply just alcohol. It will dry it out.

Pretty Funny.....I was having such sore pain on my nose for a week. I was saying 'I know I am going to have a huge zit appear on my nose.' We'll I have it and its bad. I feel your pain. I think we just have to ride it out.

Re: PIMPLE!!

Yes it kind of is like the common cold. once it starts you really can't do much, sorry to say. but def try some alcohol. youll feel it get dry instantly. and DONT pick

Re: PIMPLE!!

I feel your pain. I get these all the time.
I know it won't help now but get the Drying Lotion for Mario Badescu (they send samples if you request online and sometimes send the drying lotion)
it really works well (and I've tried everything)

Re: PIMPLE!!

one more thing - I think i read that the two best things are salacylic acid and benzoyl peroxide so get something that has those (maybe both)

Re: PIMPLE!!

Just make sure you apply ONLY to the pimple and not the skin around it. otherwise the alcohol will dry and flake the surrounding skin.

Re: PIMPLE!!

I just read in Dear Harriett in Newsday. Egg yolks! Apply to your face for 10 minutes and wash off. It contains vitamin E. Dermatologist recommended!

Re: PIMPLE!!

Whenever i get one of those -- I use antibiotic ointment... Neosporin or something similar. Seems to work for me!!

Re: PIMPLE!!

What I found really works is just straight Tea Tree oil, just apply it right on the pimple, nowhere else, it's quite strong. Great Results- we're talking OVERNIGHT!!!
You can find it at most health food stores.
