How do I get rid of a few zits in a day or so??
Not really a health question I guess but is there a way to get rid of a few zits I have like 4 and I want them to go away!!! Is there something at HOME I can try to use to make them go away or get smaller? I don't really wanna go buy something b/c I have oxypads but those take a few days... so please help me! O and I heard toothpaste helps is this true? thanks!!!

toothpaste effective yet inexpensive. i use it myself especially on the nose and chin areas . DONT EVER POP A PIMPLE ON YOUR NOSE!!! leaves scars got two as evidence lol. but toothpaste dries it up so well and makes ya face smell fresh.

The toothpaste thing is really no more effective than using something like clearasil. In fact, toothpaste would be less effective.
You can always try using a drying agent, and then following with an antibacterial ointment like neosporin to kill the infection inside the zit.

Toothpaste reduces the redness if a zit and sort of dries it out so yup, this is true. If they aren't that big, you can put concealer or cover up over them. If they need to be popped, then pop them and then put rubbing alcohol over them and just wash your face. Hope I helped :)
