/fit/ how do you get rip of pimples, fast and effective. I don't have an acne problem but I do get those occasional hueeg pimple suddenly show up on your face.

squeeze them, quit rubbing cheese into your face.

Prevention is the best way, I've always found, though that's kind of moot once you've got a blemish. My mom and grandmom always tell me that if I put toothpaste on it, and let it sit it will dry it out and help it go away faster, I've never had a serious acne problem (a few on my forehead, etc.) so I've never actually tried it. Just don't pop it, it makes it more likely to re-appear there.

cold is good for them.

Wash your face with ice-cold water or get an ice cube and rub the pimple with it. The ice cube technique is quite common.

If you have to pop, *pull* the skin surrounding the pimple rather than squeezing it. If you squeeze, some blood vessels are gonna pop which might cause some scarring. Pulling the skin gently just causes the pore to shit out the pus.

is full of shit

has the correct answer, but most people just go "OH MY GAWD" and push real hard on them, so it's easier just to tell them to let it go away on it's own.

Dude, I JUST went into the bathroom to try squeezing and it didn't work one bit. Total bullshit. You just gotta learn how to pop them without screwing up your skin=years of practice.

NEVER wash your face with warm water. Opens up your pores and more dirt and shit gets in there which = more acne. Wash your shit with cold/cool water and you should see a huge difference in a couple weeks. Also stop eating your grandma's lard samiches.

Boil some water. Hold your face over the pot (take it off the burner) and put a towel over your head. You're steaming your face. This opens up the pores.

Next, dab a little bit of honey onto the zit. Honey is anti-bacterial and will kill some of the shit causing the zit, while also drying it out, like a OTC pad.

After 10-15 minutes, wash the honey off. Treat with a normal Spot Acne treatment.

It'll be gone in 3 days, no joke. Works great for me on the occasional monster zit that pops up.

hypodermic needle/acupuncture needle/tattoo needle - basically any sort of sterilized needle. Poke epicenter of pimple, let it bleed, wash and put topical cream on area afterwards.

Bullshit. This is not true with acne, but can be true with small infections from staph that look a good bit like acne. If squeezed, the staph can spread. Also, the toothpaste contains triclosan, a rather powerful antibacterial agent (which is *gasp* commonly used to treat staph! Good job, your mother doesn't know the difference between acne and boils!).

Ice can lower the swelling, but that's pretty much it. Seriously.

>>62707
Rather, warm water opens your pores, allowing them to be cleaned out. Dirt and other non-bacterial obstructions in pores are generally filtered out by your body, and do not cause problems. If you want to be super-careful, though, wash your face with warm water, then wash it with cold, and then dry.

>>62708
Listen to this man. Steaming works wonders for your pores, and honey is a very nice natural antiseptic and antimicrobial. Also, it's pretty good for scrubbing, if you need, because of the sugar in it.

Hope I could help you out, anon. If you have any questions, feel free to bump this post until either I get back to you, or it gets saged into oblivion.

i actually have a tiny pair of siccors that i use to cut the tip of them off and then gently squeeze the pus out.

then i wash with soap and warm water to open up the pores, rinse with cold as fuck water to make them slam shut. then i use peroxide and oxy pads for prevention. since i started doing this every night i havent gotten a many pimples. it has also cause me to look older cause its fucking haggering my skin.

also, stop drinking soda and wash your face after you eat.

anywho, threadjack. /fit/, i have bumps in my neck - does this have anything to do w/ acne? i've heard of acne under the skin, but i don't recall any of these ever coming to the surface and proving themselves to be acne. they feel like little grains of sand or rice in the skin of my neck, and sometimes i get a bigger one that feels like it's connected to something deeper.

/fit/, i have cancer, don't i? :/

I use toothpaste. It acts as a good anti-zit cream.

i have a 25 gauge hypodermic needle to lance any cystic pimples that show up. I have clear skin but occasionally I get a cystic pimple that hurts like hell, so I sterilize, lance, then sterilize. The needle is small enough such that I see no scars, but its a risky maneuver regardless. Probably unnecessary for ordinary pimples, but when its subcutaneous, it can be hard to let it go away on its own since it takes forever and the swelling is intense.

FUCK.>>63120here. google says i have "nodules". shitsux. guess i need more water (which is ironic, because i very rarely drink any sodas, and would be one to advise against doing so). probably comes from my dad, who is sensitive as fuck to toxins.
