queenhearts answered Thursday July 5 2007, 4:14 pm: Concealer usually makes it worse, so I suggest not using it. It clogs the pores and has caused me more pimples. You can try getting a warm-hot washcloth and putting it over it to bring a head to it. You can try popping it. If it's white, it seems to have a white head. If you clean your skin and fingers, try popping it.. but only if it looks "ready". You want it gone in 2 days so I'm assuming you have something going on and you don't want it. You could always apply some acne scar cream on it after. It might bleed when you pop it but it will be a lot easier to cover up with makeup than a bump. [In my opinion, i guess]
But then you could wait and continue to wash your face. You probably won't get rid of it in 2 days by leaving it alone though. It usually takes more time.
I usually pop mine when it has a white head and I clean it with warm water.. than cold water to close my pores. It leaves a scar for a few days then it fades away. [ queenhearts's advice column | Ask queenhearts A Question ]

whoa whoa whoa, i totally do NOT suggest popping it. don't pick at it. it will leave a scar & it will take a lot longer to heal.
my suggestion? leave it alone & don't pick at it. or, put a little toothpaste on it overnight and it'll dry up.
to hide the pimple for now, just apply concealer but wash it off as soon as you get home so it doesn't get more clogged.
haleys411 answered Thursday July 5 2007, 3:23 pm: just wait a day for it to dry up, then apply concealer, the concealer will cover it up, that way it will be unseen in 2 days...theres no way to get rid of it completely in 2 days...but that will make it covered [ haleys411's advice column | Ask haleys411 A Question ]
