I have a pimple or something under my skin right between my eyebrows and it hurts and I can feel the bump but it isn't red or anything. How can I get rid of it fast because I have the first day of school on Monday (at a new school)?

I get those sometimes and I find that the Burts Bees Herbal Stick really helps to reduce the time and redness. Masks also help me reduce the time and redness as well.

I've had this many times before, its usually a cystic pimple that hasn't fully formed yet. not sure how to get rid of it, usually just don't make it angry but if it starts to get red, it's definitely what I think it is and then you can do some research and do what you are comfortable with.

Don't squeeze it. It'll get much worse, especially if it's not ready to be extracted.

Short term solution-wise, there's not much else you can do but go see a dermatologist. Otherwise, you can try a 2.5-5% benzoyl peroxide solution from the drugstore and see what happens if you leave it on the spot overnight. Any in depth product recommendations likely wouldn't be useful if your goal is to have it gone/reduced by Monday.

I just discovered Peter Thomas Roth has these little clear dot zit stickers that are awesome! Sorry, I don't remember the name lol. You just put a dot where you feel it coming in and leave it for at least 8 hours. Speeds things up a ton!!
