Aww, I hate those and they have to come in that place which stinks. If you really want this to go away, then you need to rinse your face with hot water or when you get out of the shower, try to pop this if there is a white head. If there isn't, then leave it alone because it will hurt when you pop up. Then you can just put toothepaste over this pimple so it will dry up and the redness will go away.

Those are the worst! They do look really gross, I hate those. Honestly, since you're tan enough, wash your face with really hot water and whatever soap you have and take a pin and pop the pimple. Squeeze out as much of the puss and watery looking stuff as you can and keep a piece of ice on it. You'll have a very small scab, but hey, the pimple won't be there right? Try not to touch it too much because the oils from your hands will get into the scab causing it to get slightly infected and yet another pimple will show up. Good luck. Hope this helped.

First of all DONT pop it, it can cause more pimples to go on your face. Try to put a steamy hot rag over your face for a while and wash your face everyday. Even if yoo dont have pimples yoo should still wash your fave regualry.
Hope we helped

Pop it, wash it out, and put any kind of white-pastey toothpaste on it overnight. It should either disappear or become a little less noticeble. If not, keep washing it and put toothpaste on it the next night.

LOL, don't put food on it! Could make it worse.
I would suggest you gently scrape the top off, but those in that crease can get really sore and yukky. Try putting hot compresses on it, maybe a washrag with as hot water as you can stand.If you keep doing this it should bring the pus more and more to the top until it eventually will break on it's own and then hopefully dry up.It may take awhile so be prepared for that.Hope it helps:}

Well, I know that this flies in the face of what every health professional will say, but if you're that desperate, just pop it. It'll decrease the whiteness, and if you squeeze it right and get all the goo out it should go away. Still, don't make a habbit of squeezing; it's not good for your skin.

Acne stuff wouldn't have an immediate effect anyway.

However in the long term, you really need to look into skincare. I know it will be hard, but you need to get it done, or else you'll just have this problem over and over again.

If you don't have many acne problems, you might want to look into a gentle facial cleanser--Velocity from Mary Kay is nice, as are Dove cleansing cloths. If your skin is more acne prone, go for Noxzema moisturizing or regular Noxzema. And if you have really bad acne in general, get Noxzema Triple Clean. That stuff is powerful.

Whatever you do, you need a two or three step facial regimine--cleanse, tone, and moisturize.

Cleansing is the most important step. Make sure your cleanser fits your skin type. Do NOT scrub, whatever you do. Just gently put it on and wash it off. I suggest the cleanser on before shower, stepping in, and rinsing it off. You should cleanse twice a day--before bed and after waking (and probably after brushing your teeth).

Toning is sort of optional, and many cleansers have toners built in.

And then moisturizing. This is importnat, even if you have acne-prone skin. Choose an oil-free moisturizer that goes with your facial cleanser if you can... Alternatively, a moisturizing cleanser may cut this step out. Still, if you moisturize, do it every time you wash.

If you need help getting these, you can get most Noxzema variants at any dollar store or grocery store, as well as major supermarkets. Dove cleansing cloths are a bit harder to find, but are found in basically the same places. If you want to give the Mary Kay products a try, go to Marykay.com and search for a local representative. Unfortunately, you can only get Mary Kay through sales reps.

Neutrogena didn't work too well for me, but everyone is different.

There are other products, of course, but I haven't tried them and I couldn't tell you how well they work. However, I'm sure other columnists have tried them and could give you their take.

It's a whitehead, and you want to know what's weird? I have one in the exact same spot at this very moment. ha. Well, I haven't tried it but I heard toothpaste, as weird as it sounds, works. It dries out the pimple, that's pretty cool, eh? I don't recomend popping the pimple with your fingers because the bacteria in your fingers gets inside the pimple, which results in it getting bigger, eww. But you might want to get that puss out, so you might have to pop it. If you do be sure to wash your hands first!

My friend uses toothpaste and swears that it dries out the pimple overnight, so I guess you could try putting toothpaste on it, and see what happens...
