What's the best way to get rid of pimples...quick?
Every now and then I'll get a couple of pimples on my face and they usually stick out like a sore thumb. Does anyone have a way to get rid of those pimples in a hurry. I found some things that may work but I'd like to hear from everyone here to see what works for them. You may have a much better solution to this problem. Thanks.

But laying in the sun did help me......gets rid of the toxins. Good luck though. Sep 23 05 07:51 am Link Try a few whacks to your face with sledge hammer, then applying an acetylene torch directly to the pimple. Of course this wonât clear up your acne, but with a smashed and burnt face, a zit's that last thing people will be noticing.  Okay, if thatâs too harsh, try Clearasil. Sep 23 05 07:57 am Link clearasil is the worst thing to put on your face..that stuff is pure garbage. The best way is drink lots of water..urgh..10 glasses. That is what i have started doing. And white tooth paste works wonders. But I would recommend seeing a dr. the doctor can give you special medicine for this.. Sep 23 05 08:10 am Link Photoshop Sep 23 05 08:15 am Link ok the obivous photoshop, but I swear a dab of paste (not gel) toothpastes on the pimp over night. And it dries that shit out! I swear, its better than windex! lol Sep 23 05 02:09 pm Link Visine will help tone down the redness. Then put on make up to hide it - wash off make up ASAP after shooting. Sep 23 05 02:59 pm Link lmao photo shop...hahaha..that is a good one Sep 23 05 07:31 pm Link cover it up with makeup as much as you can, photoshop will do the rest. Sep 23 05 07:38 pm Link They won't go away quickly ... if you try to 'pop' 'em then just look worse. Try Photoshot or a great MUA.

And Accutaine (isoteretinoin = generic name) (which is used on severe acne - very severe acne is a potentially dangerous drug). Here's some of the problems with it: Patients should carefully consider the several disadvantages of isotretinoin. The drug is not only expensive but is also linked to some adverse effects that can be severe. Possible side effects include inflammation of the lip and mucous membrane of the eye; dry mouth, nose, or skin; itching; nosebleeds; muscle aches; photosensitivity; and, rarely, decreased night vision. Other more serious side effects include increased blood cholesterol, lipid, and triglyceride levels and abnormal liver enzymes. To make sure isotretinoin is stopped if these side effects occur, we generally monitor a patient's complete blood count, blood chemistries, cholesterol, triglycerides, and liver enzymes before therapy is started and periodically during treatment. All of these potential side effects usually go away after the medication is stopped, however liver damage can be permanent. Sep 23 05 08:23 pm Link Benefit Boo Boo Zap! It works. Sep 23 05 08:23 pm Link From the road-dogs handbook: Quick cure for acne, dermatitis and some rashes - glycol applied to the skin. It works wonders for most people, but can actually cause dermatitis if you happen to be sensitive to it. Glycol is a little hard to find in regular stores, but it is the main ingredient in a substance found in every lighting & FX professional's gig box - plain old garden-variety fog juice.  Another helpful tube of goo is 1% hydrocortizone ointment. It clears up some types of acne right away, but from what I've read, continual use can lead to premature skin aging.
