Whats the fastest way to get rid of a pimple?
It takes time for a pimple to heal but some over-the-counter products can help. Resist the urge to pick at your skin, it will make the breakout worse.
Washing your face twice a day with an oil-free gentle cleanser can help prevent breakouts. Treating your skin with an acne treatment can stop breakouts but it may take a few days. Most major over-the-counter acne treatments feature one of two ingredients: benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. If you are a woman, use an oil-free concealer to hide blemishes.
If breakouts continue, see a dermatologist about prescription medicines (topical and oral).
How do you get rid of pimples without cream or popping them?
Most acne is caused by repressed anger. Try punching a punching bag agressively, hammering nails into a piece of wood, chopping logs, or anything that involves hitting or kicking with your hands or feet, even hitting golf balls.

How do you get rid of acne on upper lip?
I would say go see a doctor, cause you don't know what kind of rash it might be. Only ask the experts on that the Doctors we can't see the rash. It might be something that might need some kind of special ointment. Who knows. mostly if get rash on your lips just keep putting vesaline after every 3 hours you will see it going little by little and don't lick your lips because the rash will not heal faster I have recently had a rash on my lips it was very iritating, to help the rash go down, every night befor you go to bed aplly chapstick to your lips and i do not recomend using vaseline because it makes it worse.

How do you cure acnes and pimples?
I have found though experience that acne has so so many causes, to name a few:
-STRESS!!!
-Genetics
-Nutrition/Diet
-Exercise
-Dry Skin
-Chemical In the water
-Picking, touching of the face, resting your forehead on something
-Dehydration
Depending on age sometimes in your teens it can be a lot worse as you body is going though changes and maturing.
I have found that it takes extreme measures,
First get a routine going, don't over wash your face that can dry it out, wash your face no more than twice per day. Depending on where you live get a shower filter for the water, there is all kind of chemicals and garbage in the water nowadays, I notice in the winter when our town puts more junk in my skin gets worse. I use dove soap with 1/4 moisturizer and then use some natural oil free lotion with vitamin E.
Eat a balanced diet, become a nutrition freak, if something hasn't been on the earth for 10,000 years don't eat it, they put so many preservatives, chemicals and garbage in food nowadays.
I drink green tea for its antioxidants; there are lots of antioxidants so some research. Free radicals can build up from stress of all sorts and take over your system just like a disease.
Start getting physically active, it relives stress and so much more. Devoting a small amount of time in the gym, or your home gym, can make a world of difference to your overall health. Find a good quality routine, there are lots out there, just be careful of what magazines you look in. I even know of a guy who is giving away a free routine for short amount of time.
Don't roast yourself next summer or you will have bad skin all winter. Although exposure to sun can make your acne get better at first it has negative long-term effects, use lots of sunscreen.
Be careful what products or systems you use to wash or treat. Lots can over dry, think back years and years ago before they had a whole section of medicated acne washes and creams, was acne way worse back then? Look at a national geographic video of tribes people, they don't have modern medicated acne face wash and treatment systems, let alone a really good soap, do they all suffer from acne?? They must know something we don't or be doing something different. Hmmm maybe it's the food or modern day stress or what our society has become or believes.
Eat as natural as possible, clean and healthy.
Also with products I use, if I wouldn't feel safe eating it then I try not to put it on my skin, whatever goes on the skin absorbs into your system.
The first main cause is STRESS, working at eliminating stress is a habit that takes time, and stress is really a matter of perception, work on perceiving situation differently. Also do the fitness thing, spend time doing cardio, lifting weights, etc.
The main thing that causes it for me is focusing on it, its best to just forget you have it. You get what you focus on, the laws of attraction. Instead of focusing on it all the time and thinking " I have bad acne and I don't like the way it looks on me and I wish it would disappear", stop looking at it in the mirror, pretend it isn't even there, don't give it a second of your time. Although this sounds really lame, but believe me it's very powerful, every night before you go to bed and first thing in the morning imagine yourself having perfect skin, what you would look like and how you would feel. Just get a routine going, drink lots of water (not straight tap water!! use a filter and check with your local supply to see what chemicals they put in it and if the filter will work, even if you get bottled water some companies get the water from the local source :-( and declair it "spring water").
There is a lot of info, but this is enough to cure anyone, its mainly stress and chemicals in garbage food and water nowadays, have to go, don't think about it as complicated, just do all you can and then start perceiving yourself differently, not as some who has acne, but someone who doesn't have time for acne.

What are some good treatments for rosacea?
Scientists have found a link with Rosacea and a skin mite called the Demodex Mite, rosacea sufferers have an abundance of these mites on their skin than people who do not suffer from rosacea. Although it is not actually the mite that is causing the reaction but the bacteria in the mites faeces, and as the eight legged arachnid has no anus, they just feed and feed on the sebaceous glands, storing the waste in their gut until they die, where the body disintegrates and all the waste is released into the pores of the skin, causing inflammation.

You can't necessarily "stop" acne but you can do things that can lessen the effects. Using products that contain retinol-A are a very common solution to preventing or treating pimples.

What is the best remedy for pimples?
Everyone's acne must be treated individually. If you have not gotten good results from the acne products you have tried, consider seeing a dermatologist. Your dermatologist will decide which treatments are best for you.
A lot of genetics is involved. People whose family are prone to acne have probably got sensitive oil glands that produce much more oil than is necessary to keep skin moist. Also, during puberty oil glands are much more active and any form of blockage (Eg. Dirt, debris, dead skin cells, cheeseburger, etc.) can cause acne.

Does putting toothpaste on a pimple really work?
Yes! Here is a simple easy way to test its effects. 1. After waking up in the morning, cup your hands around your mouth and nose and and smell your breath. After you pass out you will regain consciousness. 2. Immediately go and brush your teeth (twice). 3. Repeat step one. If you have not passed out, or lost consciousness the brushing was a success. You can also substitute cupping your hands over your mouth and nose for another person. Just breath directly into their face. yes, it works because the flouride it contains prevents gum decay which eventually leads to tooth loss if you dont use it. it can also whiten teeth over time (depending on the minerals and substances inside). it is a very good idea to use liquid flouride too, like listurine to kill the germs and strengthen your teeth.
