How do you get rid of a zit?

Answer by  HawaiianGirl (6906)

Don't squeeze, it could cause a scar. Instead wash your face with a medicated acne wash. Apply spot treatment, and wait it out.

Time and a little topical anti-acne medicine is usually best. You could squeeze it (not usually recommended) or apply toothpaste, which is supposed to help dry it out.

There are many different remedies to get rid of a zit. Toothpaste works wonders on zits. Make sure you use the paste and not the gel.

I would get rid of they infection by popping the zit then wash it good with soap. Then apply things from toothpaste to zit medicine to speed the drying process up. Keep the skin oil free to prevent further breakouts.

Clean the area with a facial cleasner,with salycilic acid or benzol peroxide. Apply a mixture of baking soda and water to the pimple and leave it over night. If baking soda is not available tooth paste (not gel) can be applied as well. The pimple should dry overnight.

If you have problems with zits, either you are going through purberty, eating the wrong foods, such as fats, chips,soda and not eating enough of fruits and vegetables. There are creams on the market that work but see your doctor.

Zits can be removed very easily and in a cost effective way, by way of Apple Cider Vinegar, cleanse your face well being sure not to rub too hard which will agitate the skin causing the cider Vinegar to burn like any other astringent. Do this twice a day until they're gone and you're good to go.
