How to get rid of a pimple quickly?

How can I get rid of this pimple/dry patch quickly? HOMECOMING IN 3 DAYS!?

• Hi everyone! Ok so I had this pimple which I stupidly picked a while back, like almost 2 weeks ago. It became a dryish patch. I couldn't cover it up with coverup. It was kinda of creased looking. Now, it is red and not smooth. It's really hard to explain so I am hoping that you can kinda tell in these pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/53466231@N02/ Thank you so much! I am desperate to make it go away! Preferably in 3 days, for homecoming:)

• Answer:

  1. Wash your face with acne soap like Clearasil. If you have really oily skin wash it twice, and dab dry with a towel (don't rub) 2. prepare an ice pack using a zip lock bag, a thin towel some aluminum foil and of course Ice. Crushed is best but you can simply crush cubes if that's all you got. 3. Put the crushed ice inside the aluminum foil and seal very well (interlock the edges by folding them into themselves) this will keep the ice cold and from melting too fast. put the foil inside the zip lock bag (again this helps it stay cold. You will need it to be freezing cold. (remove air before closing zip lock bag) 4. Wrap this inside a thin hand towel; this keeps the temperature cold but without being too cold. 5. After you wash your face put the ice pack on the area where the zit is. The aluminum foil and crushed Ice will form a mold around that area, if you have several zits you can make the ice pack bigger. 6. Hold the ice pack over the zip for AT LEAST 10 minutes, this freezes the pores closed forcing out the oil and dirt. The trick here is a.) force out the culprit that's causing the zit, the dirt and oil that's irritating the pores, and b.) to dissolve it so it doesn't just spread to other surrounding pores and make the zit bigger. If you pop the zit it will get bigger because it's like a volcano in overflowing oil into surrounding pores! if you must pop the zit do so while its bathed in Noxzema (challenging yes but safe lol) 7. After ten minutes apply Noxzema (or any medicated cleansing cream) on the whole face (just in case any oil escapes to avoid new zits) and rub in very well around the zit area. If everything goes well the zit should have shrank just a tad, and the Noxzema will absorb the oil and dirt. 8. Wash off the Noxzema and dab with a towel (again don't rub!) 9. Apply a generous amount of Clearasil or any medicated acne cream like oxy etc.. Make sure its a cream. This will absorb any excess oils that seeped out when the pores closed and medicate the skin helping it heal. 10. Wait 4 hours and repeat. do this until the zit is substantially smaller. After two times you can go to bed and keep the Clearasil on all night and you may wake up with no zit!
