    Angry A zit is on the way--help!

    I can feel it. It is under my skin, no head yet, and BOY is it going to be a doozie! Does anybody have any advice how to stop this before it erupts?

    And just allow me to vent a bit, Where the hell did it come from??? I have been SUPER careful about my diet, have not used any new products, didn't even eat ONE SINGLE cheez-it at work. So what have I done to deserve this? DAMN!

    Yeah, no way to stop it. Just draw it out so you can pop it and start it healing. I'd put a dab of mayonnaise on it before bed and cover it with a Band-Aid. In the morning it'll look like a golf ball and you can pop it, put some Neosporin on it, and let it start healing up.

    ^I've never heard of that before. What's in the mayo that does that?

    I can usually reduce a zit to nothingness by spot applying Mint Julep mask overnight

    If it's a cystic one, put ice on it for 15 minutes (longer if you can stand to). Then put some benzoyl peroxide on it. The ice will help the BP penetrate deeper into the pimple . Although it won't get rid of the pimple it will get rid of a lot of the inflammation.

    This is the ONLY thing other than a cortisone shot that I have found to help with the inflammation of a deep pimple like that.

    DO NOT put any heat on it unless there is already a head. If you put heat on it, the pimple will only get worse.

    Oil, mostly. Mayonnaise is pretty much just oil and egg; the combination of fat and protein gets into the pore and blocks it, making the zit grow and come to a head much more quickly.
