But just a little FYI insted of poping it you could just put toothpast on it overnight. IT wont mae it go away but makes it less red and less notciable.
xXxpinky615xXx answered Thursday June 1 2006, 5:24 pm: Best thing to do is take a damp hot towel and hold in on your pimple for a few minutes. Then pop it with the towel and then clean it out with warm/hot water. Wash your face with acne wash or regular soap or if you have a face wash that will not clog your pores, that's even better. After you do that, put neosporin on it to avoid it from scabbing and scarring. Keep putting neosporin on it every night so that way it heals faster.
