    Try the new neutrogena stuff .It's got that thing called "microderm" or something like that. I'm sorry I'm being vague but I'm not sure what it's called. It's a spot treatment that helps in 8 hours, it really helped me. You can get it at walmart, it's an orange and silver litltle bottle like the size of your thumb.

    There is no quick cure for pimples of blemishes. To reduce the swelling, try using an ice cube on the pimple for a few minutes. You can use concealer to camouflage the pimple if you have to go out to an event.

    You could pop it or put toothpaste on it. The toothpaste worked with me when I tried it once. Hope this helps and if not pop that sucka!

    The ice cube thing works well for me. Poping it may make it look more red and angry looking. I would go with concealer if you have to go out right away. Also, when I am getting a breakout, I wash my face with a little bit of baking soda and warm water. My grandma told me about that, and it seems to work for me. If you have dry skin, or a sore spot (from popping a zit) you might not want to use it, as the salt will burn if it gets into an open sore. Hope this helps.

    I don't recommend using toothpaste on acne. Toothpaste contain ingredients that can irritate the skin. meecy12, if you don't have a concealer, you can dab a little foundation on the pimple and then use a pressed powder. This should help cover the blemish.
