How to get rid of a massive pimple?

[Anonymous]

This massive pimple appeared on my face last Tuesday and it's still here. It's huge, red, and ugly and I want it off my face. I thought my usual acne treatment would get rid of it but it didn't. I tried a different acne treatment, toothpaste, a face mask, heat, cold, popping it, and covering it with makeup. Nothing works!

Use toothpaste. Toothpaste contains silica, which is the drying agent you find in bags of beef jerky, among other things. Basically, toothpaste will dry out your pimple overnight, reducing it in size.

Make sure to use natural toothpaste when you dab it onto your skin. Some toothpastes containing sodium lauryl sulfate can irritate the skin. Watch out for it before applying. Leave on all night.

Good luck.

Just wait. But don't pop it or anything. You don't want a scar.

Conceal it with make up, and wear red lip stick to distract people from looking at it, if you must pop it, use a needle to poke it and drain all the pus and some blood out, afterwards ice it with a ice cube for 5-8 mins, repeat icing 2-4 more times, this always works for me
