So, I've got one headless zit right by my nose, not on it, just by it. It hasn't done anything in days now. I popped it last night after warming it with hot water, and some pus came out, but the size didn't change much. I've got a presentation today and in a fit of fury, I pressed on it, hard. It did get a big smaller -- but I'm doomed now, right? I pushed all the bacteria deeper and maybe even spread it??
I was just reading about this yesterday...turns out, it's pretty much a myth and the popular advice is probably wrong anyway. You're not doomed. It's a zit...unfortunately, it will take time to heal, they always do. I have to go to a professional job everyday also, zits or not. The good news is, most of the time no one else really even notices. All of the time, my perception of it is way worse than anyone else's.
