Okay so I'm not really sure what a underground/or crystic pimple is, but I beleive I have one on my nose. It now looks like a red bump on my nose. I tried toothpaste and got most the puss out and proactive refining mask on it which healed the redness. Now I can't pop it since theres no puss inside. How can i get rid of it by tommorow which is when school starts?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, there is really nothing that will make a pimple go away overnight like that. I would avoid trying to pop it or messing with it at all - chances are you'll only make it worse. If you are able to take ibuprofin or aleve, that may help reduce any swelling. Also try applying ice to the pimple. Put the ice in a baggie or paper towel and hold it on the pimple for a few minutes, then remove the ice. You can repeat this periodically - maybe every 5-10 min or so. Just don't leave the ice on so long that you freeze the skin. Ice helps reduce redness and swelling.

How long should I keep the ice on?
