Huge zit starting to form

[yOyOYoo]

I just noticed my cheek is getting a little bump underneath. it's red and starting to swell up. I feel a big zit comin on... how do I stop it?

Tea tree oil? I have no idea. It just sounded good.

Pop it then apply some Neosporin.

On a serious note, at night I usually harass the upcoming zit by trying to squeeze the living sh!t out of it. It really hurts and gets swollen. Usually the immediate following day, it turns into a white head and is easy to pop.

Enjoy!

Hmmm.... from the other thread....

apply maggots? Apply leeches?
Medical marvels that they are, they may just cure zits

its too deep to pop.

i hear if you put toothpaste on it, it helps. no?

:camera:s?

Ehhh. On second thought, nvm.

Only if it has reared its ugly head (<-- If that would be a sentence meaning 'showed' it's ugly head). Otherwise you'll just dry out a small piece of skin directly above the node.

I don't know if there's anything you CAN do that doesn't involve something like a needle.

back in the day when i was a teen, i used to dry them fukers out by applying alcohol. i kept applying the alcohol until it dried and then reapplied it a few times until the swelling went down. you'll need to put lotion on afterwards, but it usually prevents the rudolph the red nosed reigndeer(sp?) look.

i second that

 

[aircooled]

Just let it get big and make sure you clean the mirror when your done.....

 

[imported_yovonbishop]

I definitely wouldn't suggest trying to pop it at this stage. Just leave it alone for now, it'll go away.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

you gotta slice it off at the base, i think this is around neck-level.

Toothpaste will dry that part of the skin off. It could help the swell to subside a little. You can try that. Don't pop it. It will cause a scar or hole.

Drink lotsa water too. Could help clear the system a little.
