    -madsign1gahhh so I've gotten my first cystic pimple this week and it's been a few days since I first noticed the tiny pink bump on my face. I figured it was just a pimple that would dry up before it got any bigger because I usually don't get anything on my face.

    :nono: Even though I wash my face often, one day, it just got bigger. I thought I'd just pop it, but oddly enough, nothing came out. After walking around with it for a few days, I told my roommate about this "weird" pimple and she explained that it was a cystic pimple and that it's "underneath" your skin so that you "can't" pop it.

    -dead I hope it goes away soon, google tells me that it usually takes 2-3 weeks..!

    you should be glad it's ur first time n' only ONE, dont wanna remember my days when i have severe acne...:no:

    anyways it would take several days for it to "dry up"/"harden," then about 4 days or so for it to harden enough and peel it off, then you will have a red spot on ur area, and it would take 1 week-ish or 2 weeks for the spot to go away, it takes time to get rid of it completely, just like u gain weight easily but its hard to lose it all.......

    if you're looking for tips:

    don't push/play with the fucker... it won't help whatsoever, I know it sucks, but messing with it won't make it go away faster.

    Don't squeeze it until you see a whitehead (or just don't squeeze it), any time before that and you're just going to make the whole area redder

    If its really swollen, you can try putting Hydrocortisone cream (not ointment) on it. Get it at any local drugstore, comes in a small tube, it will cut inflammation, but it won't help much with redness. Don't use too much, lathering it on won't increase the effectiveness.

    Don't pick at that shit unless its totally dried out, you'll end up with minor scarring that will last for like 2-3 weeks.



    If you're really desperate to dry it out quicker, you can try using toothpaste... this works for some and not with others.
    some things to know about using toothpaste for pimples are as follows:
    1) don't use mint flavored toothpaste, it will just burn and don't use gel toothpaste like aquafresh
    2) use a thin layer
    3) don't leave it on for more than ~30 minutes
    4) probably don't use it if you have fairly sensitive skin
    5) don't use it after you've popped it

    iirc toothpaste works in a couple ways, a) it has fluoride, which acts as an antiseptic and b) it dries quickly and removes oil/moisture from the area
    If you have extremely sensitive skin its probably not a good idea... you might end up burning the area slightly, but you can always try just like 10-15 minutes first and hope for the best.

    (Qualifications - I had my share of pimples in high school and did my research, thank god it didn't carry over into university, shit sucks.)
     
  14. yeah the toothpaste one may help

    That dude has pimples on top of pimples that somehow merged together to form a super pimple.

    i dunno but heard it from my peers ... if you exercise a lot, then you probably won't get as much break out. i had very little and mostly when i had no time to hit the gym or play ball. working out is a stress relieving activity so yeah .. perhaps it's time for you to hit the gym. it doesn't matter if you're skinny or at the right weight. believe it or not .. sometimes, the pimple just disappears the next day but of course, that varies since everyone's different.
     
  17. i think this is about greasy skin
