Zit/Pimple questions

Yes, this is a lovely way to liven up the board.  Anywho, I have this enormous zit on my chin.  It's the lovely kind that hurts like a mo-fo and is deep under the skin.  Any tips on how to 1) make the reddness and swelling go away and 2) make it's duration as short as possible.

TIA.

Re: Zit/Pimple questions

  • Unfortunately that sounds like one of the cystic zits and they take a while to go away.  Apart from injecting it with cortizone, it will be there for a while.  I dab on some drying cream by Mario Badescu.  That helps to shrink it but it will take a few days.  :(  I think it is $12.50.  I've tried so many other things.  Putting some ice on it will help reduce the soreness.  I hope it goes away soon.

  • That really sucks.  I've been breaking out on my chin here recently and it drives me nuts.  If it is deep though there isn't much you can do for it.  Like Blair's said, ice should help take away some pain.

  • booo, that's not what I wanted to hear but pretty much knew that was the answer.

    Where do you buy the drying cream from, I've never heard of it.  Then again, I don't look in the facial care aisle too often, looks like I should start.

  • Oh I hate getting pimples along my chin. Then everytime you talk on the phone you seem to touch it. I've heard putting some eye drops on the pimple will help take away the redness (the eye drops that help get redness out of your eyes) but I've never tried it.

    Really the best way to get rid of it is to leave it alone. Sorry!

  • I'm leaving it alone as much as possible.  I loved being PG because I never broke out.  Now, I can tell when I'm going to get my period because I get lovely pimples again.  I think I need to stop drinking pop all together again.  When i did that, I broke out a lot less and lost like 5-10 pounds.

  • This is the stuff I was talking about.  They have it at a store called blue mercury by my house.  I don't know where else they sell it:

    I did a search and it looks like there are a bunch of stores in Chicago that sell this line.

  • I bought the stuff Kristi suggests online...but luckily since it's come I haven't had to use it yet.

    If you're downtown at work today I'm sure there are a few places down there that sell the line. I know Nordstrom's does.
