I’ve heard toothpaste (at night) is good, especially the kind with baking soda in it. Try to avoid popping it; if you kill that one 10 more come to the funeral…

the toothpaste things works wonders. I’ve used it and what it does is dry it out.

Well my girlfriend tells me that if you put one teaspoon of non-iodized sea salt into one litre of distilled h20, and put that on the zit, it’ll be gone in 2 days.
Rubbing alcohol works pretty good too.

hello :o) warm water and some anti bacterial soap will do. avoid squeezing and touching your face.

one bad thing about toothpaste i think is it leaves the skin dry and leaves dark spots as it does not have moisturizer.

dude, it’s been over 6 months since this thread was started…
Either this is the most stubborn zit in recorded history, or whoever started this thread won’t even read your reply.

well you DONT want to do that! because it can make the bactria go in to you and then your whole face can sweel and you can get really sick its happend to my mom before thats why u DONT POP ZITS.

you can try to put toothpaste on it or you can get something like proactive but idk ww.e. works for you

use aloe vera if you do pop the pimple and only if it turns red around the area.
to make your zit go away take a hot clean cloth & get it steaming hot .
after its steaming put it by your face ( not on your face )
it will evoprate the pus and infection and than wash ur face with COLD water
it worked for me & my boyfriend .
try it .

i just use hydrogen peroxide. it kills infections. if u do pop it (which i dont suggest) put that on immediately after. it will kill all of the germs, so that other zits wont start.

my opinion is to make sure it doesn’t get infected and not to touch it

Honestly ive tried all those things the best thing is to by a peroxide bar for 2 dollars and wet it then leave a thick film on zit all day then it will shrink and kill germs too you can get those bars at any drug store

don’t EVER touch your face cuz the oils from ur yucky hands will get in ur pours….. toothpaste does work but make sure its WHITE if its any other color itll change ur face that color…..the honey nad oatmeal thing doesn’t work it makes ur face really sting and itll turn ur face red….proactive only works if u use all the steps and even then itll dry ur face out rallly bad….

Best thing you can do :

1. Go to the pharmacy and buy tetracycline pills (500mg)take 1 every 8 hrs(No prescription needed) .
2. Aply with a Q-tip or cotton soaked in alcohol gently around the zit.
3. Finally aply a thin layer of Benzoil Peroxide(10%) and leave it alone over night.

*Reserve this hint only as a last resort, you dont want to overdry your skin… And no toothpaste please this is not the the 50’s.

Follow these steps and your zit(s) will be gone in 18 hours top.

Tell me if it worked for you guys…
