Quick zit fix

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss

Right before stressful events I often get a big zit. Then I can't keep my hands off from squeezing it. By the time the self-carnage is over I'm left with a thick scab that intermittently cracks and bleeds until it heals.

Next time I'm faced with a nasty pimple before an important event I may try these techniques from dermatologist, Dr. Jason Green:

  • Mix a crushed aspirin (anti-inflammatory) with a little water and apply it to the pimple overnight to lessen redness. Also, soaking a swab in Visine (anti-red eye drops) and applying it for 15 seconds may help, too.

Anyone ever tried these methods? Any other quick zit fixes you recommend?
