I have 3 big zits in my forehead and two on my chin how can i get rid of them fast?
put toothpast on them and leave it on overnight. it will dry them out and make them go away faster. they shoudl be gone in a week. just dont use the gel kind, make sure its the paste. aslo, tea tree oil does the same thing if you have any.Neosporin will kill the bacteria in them, and visine will “get the red out” for a quick tempory fix.I agree with the neosporine and vi sine. and ice cubes for swelling.At nighttime, when you normally wash your face do the following:
Was your face using tepid water, and a very gentle cleanser (I use Cetaphil.) This will prevent irritating the skin, Take a washcloth, and soak it in the hottest water you can stand. Place over the pimple for about 10 seconds or so. This will open the pore to get the bacteria out, and allow the medication to soak in. Repeat with all the pimples you have. After you do the hot water treatment, put pimple cream directly on the zit. Keep your hands away from them, and don’t pick or it will scar. If they are still there on your important day, put ice on it to minimize the swelling and redness. I hope that helps!THIS WORKS FAST & CHEAP!!!
I used Tetracycline, Proactive, Retina A and had many expensive facials with less than good results. This has worked for me and many many other happy people.
Go to pharm., Drug store, or Wal-Mart, buy “PURPOSE” bar of soap – Blue box – Made by Johnson & Johnson – wash your face with this 2-3x’s per day. Also pick up a LOW strength Benzoyl-peroxide cream, apply the cream by dabbing to the individual blemishes…. DON’T rub it in works using a oxidation/reduction reaction. It will unclog
dry it out and bring it to a head…DON’T over use this or put anywhere else on your face. It will cause drying and make you look worse.
Salicylates such as found in regular aspirin among other products work very similar but also remove layers of skin…other over the counter creams with this product will dry out pimples but maybe too hash and cause surrounding skin trauma..
I have seen many people recommending crushing aspirin and making a paste which probably will dry out the blemish but again pretty strong and probably will cause more tissue damage and bigger scars as an anti inflammatory probably would take the redness out… again pretty harsh for sensitive skin.
Also, If need which probably will for moisture ASK FOR “NUTRADERM lotion” – the original not the new stuff, this works great and wont clog pores or leave a residue on your skin…Any lotion that is completely oil free and hypo allergic should work but again I recommend Nutraderm. I have heard from people online that “Purpose” also makes a lotion that is good, Neutrogena, and Nivea make good products also. I recommend Nutraderm from experience and my dermatologist.
“Purpose Bar” & “Nutraderm” are oil free and hypo allergic they contain no perfumes and are great for both men and women. I have also heard great reports of this soap helping improve skin tone. Some people recommend the “Purpose liquid soap” saying
that the bar did dry out their skin some. The rational behind using the bar is that there are no ingredients in it that will clog pores, and according to dermatologists they recommend the Bar. I have also heard good responses from “cetaphil soap”. These products are safe for all skin colors and tones. I highly discourage use of Proactive and other harsh chemicals for people with some natural color in their face due to the bleaching and drying effect it has shown in many many people.
Additional TIPS: acne, pimples, etc are frequently cause by a bacteria or hormone issues that cause clogging of pores. DON’T PICK POP POKE (your hands are the dirtiest part of your body) and will cause: infections, spreading of germs, more breakouts and scarring
DON’T EVER listen to people online who tell you to scrub your sensitive skin or use harsh chemicals such as: Lemon juice, vinegar, alcohol, etc… DON’T EVER use that APRICOT CRAP!!! DON’T USE PROACTIVE- this is expensive and harsh it may kill the bacteria because also Benzoyl based wash but will irritate skin and cause bleaching of face and neck…. Other similar treatments may work.. Also things such as Accutane but have SERIOUS side effects such as Major Depression, & birth defects in unborn children, among others
If you wear make up make sure it is oil free, & hypo allergic…Eating healthy…Drinking plenty of water.. Changing pillow cases freq. …avoiding dirty sports equip. such as helmets…can not hurt…Acne/pimples again are caused by pores/hair follicles becoming plugged up, this plugging then causes an inflammatory reaction – redness and infection (pimple)..black head is dirt or old oil trapped in pore, while a white head is the same thing you just don’t see the dirt instead you see white pus (lymphocytes that accumulate in the area to fight the infection) It has been shown in many studies this most often not caused by what you eat (chocolate etc… or how clean you are) but most often by either excess oils plugging pores or a bacteria on the skins surface. – Proactive works in some people because it is a strong Benzoyl peroxide based washed but is most freq. to strong
for people with sensitive skin – this is why alot of people get excessive drying and flaking, rashes, bleaching or breakouts from the product. Retina-A does decrease the bacterial growth on your face but also removes dead/living skin, this can work well in some individuals and has been shown to reduce wrinkles and scars but again I feel this is pretty harsh on sensitive skin prone to breakouts. If you choose Retina-A never use this product during the day only at night due to the sensitivity it will give you to the sun. You must also get a prescription for this product and I really don’t believe it is worth the damage it does to your skin. In some rare cases for very deep/large boils and cyst types
of pimples oral antibiotics maybe needed but I would first recommend trying “purpose” and a low dose “benzoyl-peroxide cream” along with a good oil free moisturizer “Nutraderm… etc” this does work well.
THIS WORKS FAST AND CHEAP!!! I no longer get expensive facials, take oral antibiotics, or even NEED makeup… I am very happy – Have very good skin… and have many many other happy friends… THANKS again to my WONDERFUL DERMATOLOGIST… TRY THIS!! GOOD LUCK…. PS. “PURPOSE” costs about $ 3 ———————————————

Find Out About Some Home Remedy For Zits That Will Teach You How To Rid Pimples And Have Clear Skin!
Are you sick and tired of your pimples? Would you like to know how to rid zits once and for all? Well, there is real help. You will become zit free and have the skin that you always wanted! I will give you some helpful tips that will help you eliminate your zits and keep them from coming back.
1. Drink lots of water! Drinking lots of water will flush your body and skin of gross toxins and other wastes. Water has been proven to keep your skin hydrated. I suggest you drink AT LEAST 10 cups a day. Also, stop (or cut down) on the soft drinks. All the extra sugars and chemicals are guaranteed to make your pimples worse.
2. Do Not Pop! Most people think that popping your pimples will make them go away quicker. This is not true. Popping your zits can possibly lead to infections and even cause acne scars. The best thing you can do if you have a ripe pimple is to put a washcloth with warm water on your face.

3. Wash your face twice a day. Wash gently and avoid scrubbing your face. The point here is to get rid of all of the dirt and some of the oils on your face. However, you need to make sure that you do not over wash your face. This can lead to an opposite affect and can cause even more acne. If you eliminate all the natural oils off your face too often, your body will make and abundance of oils on your face and cause even more zits.
4. Eat clean. This is the number 1 cause of zits. Learning what to eat will have the biggest impact on your acne problems. You need to eat clean, and what I mean by this is that you need to stay away from as many preservatives, and chemicals as possible. Stay away from fast food, pre-prepped and canned food, and soft drinks. Read the ingredients label and if its full of chemicals, than pickup something else…like fruits, veggies, or meat!
5. Exercise. Getting your blood moving helps flush your body of the unwanted toxins.
