Zit just keeps getting worse?

I have this rather large zit on my chin, and I've half-popped it twice, but all it does is bleed, scab over, and get worse. Even if I put medicine on it. How do I get rid of it?? I'm tired of walking through school with my head down! ):

    Drink a lot of water and it will begin clearing up within 24 hours. How much? Half your weight in ounces is sufficient. If you weigh 100lbs, drink 50 ounces of water.

    You can put a dab of zinc oxide on it at night and some of the redness will be diminished over night. When it starts to heal, let it. Don't pick.

    At school you can put a transparent or skin tone bandaid over it and if people ask, make up a minor but realistic fib anyone will forget. The bandaid will keep it clean until you get home at which time you should wash with a mild soap, rinse, pat dry and let it air out. After it dries put another dab of zinc oxide on it. If you cover it at night with a bandaid over zinc oxide, by the 2nd or 3rd day it should be obviously healing. If it isn't, I suggest making an appointment with a dermatologist to be sure there isn't a difficult infection starting.

    Avoid sugar and sugar free products, especially sodas and candy. You'll want to read labels to be sure you're using sugar or sugar free products. Sugar deydrates skin and feeds infection. Sugar free products are terrible for the rest of your body!

    Avoid over the counter products because most of them do not work well and many can aggravate the problem. When you drink enough water, otc products are pointless. If you are not drinking enough water, otc products can't work if they were going to to begin with. Your body needs to reabsorb and eliminate the toxins in the infection and it cannot do that without enough water no matter how much otc products are applied.

    Wash your face with body temperature water, not hot. Do not overwash. 2-3 times a day to rinse your face off with water only should be sufficient. Use a mild soap on your face when you take a shower. Don't scrub.

    Everyone will get zits, you just ought to are living through them and take a look at one more product. I determined Neutragena works satisfactory for me. Investigate probably the most foods you devour, they are able to cause zits too. Alot of greasy foods can purpose spoil outs. Do not let your Ex-great pal upset you together with her new acquaintances, exit and cultivate new ones. Get out and do not mope around the house. It will just make you more depressed. Pray for your pal that she does no longer get mixed up with drugs and ingesting. Are your grades so dangerous for the reason that of your despair? Or the place they unhealthy earlier than you obtained depressed? Put a smile in your face despite the fact that you do not believe adore it, it's going to make you joyful. It works!! Are attempting it.... Additionally, consider of all of the excellent things on your lifestyles, don't focal point on the bad matters. Beautiful soon you're going to be in your way to victory. Just right things will begin taking place to you.
