Bad Pimple. School Pics In 2 Days?

Question:

OK, so I woke up with this huge pimple right smack in the center of my forehead. Its like a freaking 3rd eye. Its red and inflamed. I went to pop it the proper way. Took a sterile needle and poked it lightly and gently squeezed and nothing came out. I've tried toothpaste (which did decrease it by like half but it still huge) a warm towel and then cleaning it. 3 different acne washes, and I even own one of those facial steamer things and nothings working. Then it scabed over but the scab came off when I was cleaning my face and started bleeding for like and hour. I've got high school registration on Monday where I'm taking my ID pic and yearbook pic so if there is any way I haven't tried to reduce the redness and swelling and scabbing and scarring I would really appreciate it.

Answers:
it's already scabbed. you have to treat it like an open cut now. keep it clean all day - NO MAKEUP - and put neosporin or something like that on it at night time (but don't cover it with a band aid). wash your face ONLY twice a day with a mild cleanser (no alcohol). change your pillow case often in the future (at least once a week).

pic time is close though. you might want to start practicing the best way to tilt your head to minimize the shadow of the bump/scab

if nothing els try catchup

it sounds like you have irated it for to long your just gona have to leave it and see how it turns out two days is quite a long time

Reducing the redness would need ice
And do not scrub hard just massage lightly
cleanse throughly
you you have time get clearasil acne spot treatment
[you see it in a commercial, heard it was good]
and if the redness is till there on the day dab some conclear or owder that will match your skintone.

maybe you could wear your hair in a way that will cover your pimple. i have never heard of a pimple that would not pop by sticking a needle in it. you should have gotten something out of it. maybe it is not a pimple.

See your docter. Until then find a bandaid that matches your skin tone and if you are a girl, hide it with some good foundation and concealer

First of all, relax. Stress can actually cause your pores to overproduce oil which means.more breakouts!! And you really don't want that.

Secondly, stop picking at it. Since you made it bleed by picking it to death, your zit is now a wound, rather than an inflamed pore. That takes longer to heal, my dear. I would recommend using an antibiotic ointment to kill any germs and speed the healing of the scab.

Next time, instead of trying to pop your pimple, please just put an on-the-spot acne treatment on it, such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Be sure to wash and moisturize your face twice a day.

Cover-up should get you flawlessly through your school pictures. Best of luck in highh school!
