    Aaah your first pimple!

    Exciting!

    Not really, anyway, here's how you should go about getting rid of it.

    DO. NOT. POP. IT.

    I know it's annoying, but I popped a few of my zits and now they're ugly scars.

    To get rid of the redness, crush up some advil and add a little bit of water so the thickness of it is like toothpaste, apply it to your pimple.

    To dry the zit out, put a little toothpaste on it for a few hours.

    The pimple will go away in a few days, depending on how bad it is, but it WILL go away. Don't worry!

    Go visit a dermitoligist and get a prescription for "Benzaclin" if your acne gets worse, which unfortunatley, in most people, it will.

    Remember to wash your face every night.

    Good luck!:)

    You can get special cream for it. It will disappear in a few days. You could try to pop it and get the stuff from inside out if it is white on the top or reddish. Go to the website http://www.fitsugar.com/152230 .

    Or just read this

    When I get stressed out, it's inevitable that my face will break out. It happens to everyone, but that doesn't make me feel better. When pimples show up, I want them to disappear ASAP.

    At the drug store, there are tons of acne treatments, so what really works? There are 2 main ingredients that you'll see listed on zit creams.

    Benzoyl Peroxide - It comes in gels or creams with 2.5%, 5%, or 10% concentration. Research suggests that the 5% and 10% formulas don't work better, and the 2.5% is better tolerated by the skin. It commonly causes dryness and irritation. Some people may be more sensitive to it, and suffer from burning, itching, peeling, or swelling.

    Salicylic Acid - Blemishes are formed when skin cells inside hair follicles shed too fast and clump together, which plug up the follicle. Salicylic Acid treats acne by causing skin cells to slough off more readily, preventing pores from clogging up. Use a lotion or pad with this ingredient daily to prevent possible break outs.

    Fit's Tips: I recommend trying them both out. Our complexions are so different, and one ingredient may work better for you. They both are meant to dry up the offensive area, so if you notice your skin peeling excessively, cut down on your use.

    Ok so everyone says proactive. but that wasnt strong enough for me. I used toothpaste. Put it on the spot at night and wash it off in the morning. Use a basic face wash every day and once a week wash your face with dandruff shampoo(selsun blue). Use a face mask as well once every week or two. Try to keep your hair out of your face and try to not touch your face to much. You'll get oil in your skin and clog your pores. I did this all not religiously but pretty much every day and my skin cleared up in a couple days, and trust me I had really bad acne. And now i only get the occasional pimple.

    While it took little less than two months for me to really see a difference, my acne, blackheads and whole lot of other skin problems I had such as eczema had completely cleared! It was totally amazing...

    buy astringent and apply it every night. wash your face as normal and don't rub the zit especially vigorously. if you leave it alone it will go away, but if you touch it and pick at it it will probably leave a scar as a red mark. it happened to me.

    As long as you don't wash your face all the time, then you'll be fine.

    Wash it with soap in the morning and maybe at night but yeah don't touch it or pick at it and it WILL go away eventually.
