hey, put acne medicine on it once. dont over due it with medicine because it just makes it worse. dont touch it or play with it or it will also just get worse. but cover-up on it to reduce the look. make sure to bring cover up to the party because its probably going to sweat off from all the dancing.

DONT SQUEEZE IT!!!!!! Touching it at all will make it glow red. I used to have not one of the bastards, but loads all over my face. Concealer is the way to go - dab it, or foundation if you don't have concealer, all over the thing. If you're still not happy, count your blessings that it's on your forehead and use your hair!!! Can you sweep it across your forehead like a side-swept fringe? Or can you wear a hat to the party? Or a pretty headband or little scarf as part of your outfit? But DON'T touch it!! x

Hey !
i know your problem. I had a huge pimple right under my nose. Use a little toothpaste (i recomend colgate total) and then put a band-aid on it and say you acadently walked into a door, or that your little (or older) sibling punched you. But dont be afraid of what people think of you from the outside, because its the inside that counts.

Hi,
If you are going out then i suggest you put a bit of makeup on it
Our hormones (testosterone, to be precise) are responsible for spots, or acne. Spots are basically the skin's response to the presence of this hormone, which can over-stimulate a natural oil called sebum. This gets secreted onto the surface of the skin through tiny open pores. If a blockage occurs then a blackhead forms like a cap. Underneath, the trapped oil can breed bacteria. The area becomes inflamed and the zit makes an appearance. Nearly 70% of us get acne, at some stage and in differing degrees. Most people experience spots in their teens, anywhere from the face to the neck, back or chest, but many are affected in their twenties and thirties. For such a common condition, however, there's still of great deal of misunderstanding around.
I've tried spot cream and it didn't work
Then try another treatment. Not enough people realise that acne is a medical condition that can be sorted. Try an over-the-counter product containing Benzoyl Peroxide, but if that doesn't work see your GP. They can provide specific antibiotic lotions and tablets on prescription which work effectively by slowing the build up of harmful bacteria. Give it six months to take effect, and if you still get no change then hassle your doc for something else. There is a brand of contaceptive pill that also combats acne. There are also tablets called Roaccutane (isotretinoin) that are very effective at drying up excess oil and getting rid of acne, but these can only be prescribed by a dermatologist. Eventually, you will find something that works.
Are spots caused by a lack of washing?
No. It's a cruel myth that people with spots are dirty. The fact is people with acne keep their skin more clean than most. Blackheads are not caused by dirt blockages, but by changes in the skin pigment, melanin.
What's the score with spots and sunshine?
In moderation, sunlight can play a part in treating acne by encouraging the skin to peel and drying up excess grease. However, there's a limit to how much sun the skin can take before you end up doing more harm than good. Think moderation, and use a sunscreen in milk or cream form so as not to clog pores.
Does chocolate give you acne?
Research has shown that for the majority of people, pigging out on chocolate won't result in a single extra pimple. It might have an impact on your diet, but not the condition of your skin.
What about wearing make up?
If you're always covering up your spots it can clog pores and aggravate the condition. But don't be put off from hiding zits with make up every now and then if it gives you the confidence to enjoy yourself. Avoid oil-based cosmetics.
TheSite's guide to good skincare:
Wash your face twice a day with warm water.
Dab spot-prone areas with tissue to gently remove oils.
Get some sunlight, but never get close to burning.
Don't overdo it with harsh soaps or astringent cleansers.
If you got a zit that's begging to be punished, follow the squeezers guide as recommended by the Acne Support Group.
Red: Don't even touch it. Squeezing now will only force the contents deeper into the skin and make it even angrier.
Yellow: Squeeze away. Just wash your hands first, and then gently use the side of your thumb and the end of one finger. Be sure to stop, however, once the pus has been pushed out. Squeezing out blood or clear fluid is only going to damage your skin. Afterwards, always dab the area with a mild antiseptic or tea tree oil.
Green: Don't touch it. The spot is infected. Green is for Go to your GP.
Goodluck

Put some rubbing alcohol on it.
Toothpaste is bad for your skin.
Good luck

Try a little toothpaste on it. It will dry up and you can flick it right off.
