Helloo
So basically I have a HUGE red pimple on my cheek. I usually have really clear skin, but for some reason this won't get any smaller or won't get white. It definitely hurts a lot tho lol.
So I'm not too sure what to do
Tips? 
Thanks🙂

You may want to see a doctor for anabnormally large and painful pimple, because it could be more than just a pimple.

I'm guessing it's that time of the month for you or it will be soon - those types of pimples are usually hormonal and take a very long time to heal - a derm would be your best bet if it gets much worse but if it's just one pimple you can try the buffering lotion by Mario badescu - it helps bring them to a whitehead quicker or you can try to dab a sulfur mask just on the pimple over night and it should dry it out within a day or two - possibly more depending on how far along it is because normally those pimples take weeks to clear up on their own - you can also try a salicylic acid spot treatment or benzoyl peroxide but not too strong keep it under 10% of the active ingredient

Yeah you're right, Diana lol. About a week and a half for that time of month.
And thank you for your tips!:)
