its the first zit ive EVER had so im afraid to pop it…im afraid it might hurt… what do i do???

Answer:
Yeah, it's most likely one of those cystic pimples (since you say it hurts so badly), so you wouldn't be able to pop it anyways… it would just swell even worse.

I like to put a topical ointment, like Benzoyl Peroxide, on it once a day to ease the swelling.

Answer:
I use clean and clear spot treatment it really works don't pop it unless it's white then just put a warm wet towel on it cause I know it's yucky to go out in public with a white head on your face. once it pops on its own put witch hazel or another type of Toner on it to close the pore. ice it if it swells and you need to go out other wise just leave it oh and don't use tooth paste it has to many additives nowa days.
Answer:
Don't pop it. The puss that comes out of it will spread on your face, causing more zits.

Lots of times when I just have 1 zit, I put a tiny bit of toothpaste (you heard me right) on it before I go to bed. Usually dries it up by morning or at least in 2 days.

Answer:
Well what you can do is wash ur face avoid touching the zit at all costs ur finders have bacteria that’ll irritate it..so you can wait for ur zit to go away if you maintain your clean face drnk a lot of water buy a good facial wash..good luck
Answer:
toothpaste makes it worse
