how to get rid of a pimple - #14756

Aditya

I am really freaking out because I have this huge pimple on my forehead, like, right before a big event! I tried some over-the-counter creams, but it still looks swollen and red. I mean, I usually don’t get pimples, so this is super frustrating. I've been washing my face twice a day with a gentle cleanser, drinking plenty of water, and even thought maybe stress is making it worse, but I don't know how to get rid of a pimple like this. I read about ice packs helping, but I'm worried it will just make it worse or irritate my skin. Plus, I've heard things about popping it which bad, right? I know you're not supposed to do that, but the temptation is real! Is there any quick remedy someone can suggest? Like, how to get rid of a pimple overnight or something that won't make it worse? Any good creams or home remedies that actually work? I need this thing gone like, yesterday or I'm gonna freak out!
