Huge pimple!!?

I have this huge pimple right in the center of my forehead, and alot on the right and left side of my forehead, and i can't get rid of them! I've tried using the St Ives apricot products, and they worked till about a week ago.

I have a MAJOR speech tommarow, and i really need this thing gone! Should i continue using the apricot stuff, how often are you spoused to expoliate and cleanse? Has the product worked long-term for anyone?

Thanks in advance for any answers! And my skin is oily if it helps...

    Give up the apricot scrub for now. It's not going to get rid of your existing pimples and will only irritate them and make them look redder. Wash your face morning and night with a mild face wash. Avoid harsh products that will irritate your breakout even more.

    Try some Clearasil/Oxy (benzoyl peroxide). Put it on your face before going to sleep, and you might wake up with smaller pimples.

    For tomorrow, here's a nifty little trick to reduce the pimples: get some Visine (the kind that soothes redness) and dab some on your pimples. You can also use Preparation H or some crushed aspirin mixed with water. They are all anti-inflammatories or blood vessel constrictors. They will make the pimple less red and noticeable. (But don't use these for extended periods of time; they are for emergencies only. Preparation H and Visine can be bad for you if used excessively.) Then cover the pimples with concealer, powder over them, and you're good to go.

    If the pimples are ready to pop, e.g. they're showing pus, you may heat the pimple with a warm washcloth, take a q-tip in each hand, and GENTLY use them to pop the pimple. Put benzoyl peroxide or another disinfectant on it right away. If the pimple doesn't pop easily, leave it alone!

    Dammit, you people *lol*!!! TOOTHPASTE DOES NOT DIMINISH PUS OR INFECTION; IT IS SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN. It may even cause breakouts. All it can do is have an astringent effect which reduces swelling and redness. And the techniques I mentioned above are much better at that.

    This works on both your face and back!

    Make sure your back is clean. Take a clove of garlic and chop it up into small pieces.

    Put some of the chopped garlic on the affected area and leave it there for about 5 to 15 minutes.

    The acne on your back may not be completely gone but the garlic will help with the swelling and redness. Do this on the affected area every day and the acne should be gone in less then a week!

    Garlic may sting little and dry out the skin so be sure to use an Oil- free moisturizer.

    You could also eat garlic with some water, but NOT ALOT AT A TIME! It will help also!

    And if you also have any blackheads, excessive oiliness and hyperpigmentation marks or acne scars, then the moves highlighted in here: http://bit.ly/Best_Acne_Body_Wash will help remove most of these acne related symptoms while restoring your energy and vitality and dramatically improving the quality of your life..

    You heat up some water in a bowl, dip a wash cloth in the water, and then hold it to the pimple. (You can also get the same results by holding your face under a stream of warm water like in the shower or putting your face in front of a warm heater. Eventually it will come to a head and then you can "pop it" This can cause scarring and not recommended. For the future there is an incredibly fast way to handle this problem. You first have to have a dermatologist. Then when a large pimple "cyst" forms you go to them. They get you within the next day to see the doctor and the doctor injects the cyst with a steroid (i think it's a steroid). After that it will be almost gone in just a couple hours.

    I've had acne problem over 4 years. I tried everything, of course I went to the DR. about a hundred times, probably not that many, but it sure seems like it. It never did any good for long and caused all kinds of other issues having to do with taking too many antibiotics. I had severe acne both on my face and back and after trying countless of dermatologists’ treatment options, I'd still found myself frustrated by my debilitating acne problem.

    I got to the conclusion that Anyone looking for a quick fix solution to acne, for a “magic bullet”, acne pills, ‘acne freedom in 3 days’ hyped up programs is looking to be told fairy-tales. Also, don't ever take the Proactive route, it's just a temporary solution and in time it will make your acne worse.

    It wasn't until I stumbled upon the information on this site ( http://bit.ly/Best_Acne_Body-Wash ), that my life changed completely. I'm feeling so much better now and all of my symptoms are totally gone. I haven't had an outbreak since using that info.

    And if you also have any blackheads, excessive oiliness and hyperpigmentation marks or acne scars, then the moves highlighted in here: http://bit.ly/Best_Acne_Body-Wash will help remove most of these acne related symptoms while restoring your energy and vitality and dramatically improving the quality of your life.

    No product works long term for anyone because your skin becomes immuned to them. Just change up your products every six months. For the pimples you have right now do this. Go to the store and purchase a neutorgina bar of soap, Clean and Clear benzoyl peroxide acne medication, and a tube of medicated concealer to cover the ones you have now. Your not going to spend more then twenty bucks. This is what i have at home and it works well.

    By the way exfoliate only once a week using only natural stuff. I recommend sugar and water. Its the best and the cheapest.

    Hi,

    I am a dermatologist by profession and within a careeer of 10 years I have seen lots of acne problems. According to me Red and white pimples are the worst and painful. Acneprone skin is very sensitive, even if you touch it once the redness will increase with itching. According to me there is no magical way to heal your pimples over night as this is the puffed part of your skin due to the bacteria.

    In simple words try to improve your diet and have lots of water that helps in healingg process. Un-necessary oily food should be avoided to get a healthy spotless skin.
