Okay,
The guy that i've seriously been crushing on is coming over tommorow and i have a huge red acne dot on my nose and i have tried everything to shrink it.
i've used pro active, hemmeroid cream to decrease the swell, 10% benzoyl peroxide cream, eye drops, not touching it and keeping it clean, hydrogen peeroxide, drinking TONS of water, and tea tree oil. i'm so scared, its valentine's day and my nose is a mess.
i included a picture so you can best judge what to do.

Now what you should do is put a dab of either rubbing alcohol or toner (if you have it) on the zit and the area right around it. Use a cotton swab; it'll help. Then put a dab of a spot treatment like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Either use the cream you ahve already, or, if you're willing to go out and get something new, get Clean and Clear Advantage. It's one of the best products out there and helps to minimize scarring.
Okay. Now what you're gonna do is stop touching it. Stop thinking about it and don't worry! Before you go to bed, put on another dab of acne cream. In the morning, put a dab of foundation over the spot (it'll be a lot smaller by then too!) and nobody will notice.
Another thing that may help (that will undoubtedly be less damaging to your face than hemmeroid cream... ) is holding a hot, damp facecloth on the zit for about a minute before putting on the acne cream. It'll help the spot absorb the medicine faster, relieves pressure, and may also help it pop/heal/get on with disappeasring in general. :)
