I had an nose pimple that was fairly big 3 weeks ago. It also hurt if you try to pop it. If you don't have experience popping an pimple and getting all the pus out, then I suggest you don't pop it since it may leave a scar if you do it wrong.

It will go away within 1-3 weeks, it's very suggested that you leave it alone or you may be scarred for life or need to take some cream. It will gradually get bigger than pop by itself. It's very natural so wait for the time to come

Answer 2

use apple cider vineger

Answer 3

Chinese medicine says you are constipated.
AS far as the acne. Use sea breeze or a good benzel peroxide (sp?).
Or even rubbing alcohol til you get something on it.

Answer 4

if u put on foundation or a good base then it should help cover up the redness depending on what products u use but the best thing 2 do is to go see a dermatoligist and they will b able 2 give u perscription cremes and such 2 help whats wrong with your skin.

Answer 5

go to sleep and as soon as you wake up put a little bit of your spit on your pimple before yuh brush, because morning spit has this acid in it which will make your pimple flat.

i hope it works!

Answer 7

I'm not sure how to get rid of acne scars but for that pimple, don't overflow it with cover up cause that will make it worse, every night apply a system to your face, one that i know worked for me and SO many others is clear revolution acne system it literally clears pop up things in days

but to help your self esteem just think if there was a pimple on someones nose, would u think they should be embarrassed NO right u don't even notice it cause it doesn't seem so bad on others so really don't worry about it... a famous saying:

"you'll worry less about what people think of you when you realize they aren't thinking of you" ah ah so don't sweat it

Answer 8

use some consealer or coverage makeup
Also you could try steaming your face to open the pores

Answer 9

Okay well. put a little dap of toothpaste on it overnight that should help out big. And as for the scras my brother had them when he was young and they went away as he got older but he had cancer so i dont know if it was the cemo that did that. but if you talk to your doctir you can get some good acne medication. i know i got it before. And it works really good probley because it was prescription.

I used a tripple antibiotic ointment like Equate twice a day for several days. It did quite well and no scaring.

Answer 11

I am a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.

After 12 years in this profession I find that most of my patients who deal with acne or brekout problems DO NOT SEE RESULTS from commercial products sold at drung stores or the mall. They usually contain too much benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or sulfur which tends to OVER DRY the skin and cause itching or irritations.

Also, home remedies such as lemon juice or alcohol or toothpaste SHOULD NEVER BE USED because they cause small tears in the skin and leave the skin more susceptible to bacteria that causes pimples or acne.

Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it's a broad question!

Your age plays a role! Do you always have breakouts?

However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.

Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.

However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.

Teenagers going through hormonal and growth changes are prone to acne.

If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.

The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.

The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples' needs.

Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?

Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:

www.aboutyourskincare.com

You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.

Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.

They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that's great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it's gone. It's truely magic in a bottle.

A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you're a young girl you will need fewer products than this):

Night time:

1. Exfoliate the skin
2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser
3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).
4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts
5. Moisturizer

Morning:

1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser
2. Moisturizing cream

The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com

Good Luck to you,
