How To Remove A Pimple

This would've come in handy 25 years ago. From Men's Health:

Don't try to squeeze your pimple into oblivion. That can cause scarring.

Soak a wash cloth in the hottest water your faucet can generate and apply pressure to the spot for 1 minute - the most hat should melt the sebum plugging your pores. Then apply 10 percent benzoyl peroxide cream, available over the counter, to kill bacteria and help dry out the site. Finally, cover your pimple with a spot bandage. This ensures that the benzoyl peroxide works all night. When you wake up, your blemish will be 50 to 75 percent healed if it's not gone altogether.
