HELP! The world biggest blind pimple and a wedding on Saturday

[Elocin]

How do I get rid of this hideous thing on my chin?

There is no head on it, otherwise I'd just be able to squeeze it...

But it's HUGE!! And bright red!! And my make up isn't covering it.

How do I move this monster?

Or, at the very least, can anyone recommend a good concealer?

Why, at 28 years old, am I still dealing with this???

TIA xo

Windex or metho.

Yes seriously.

You could try benzac cream from the chemist too or straight peroxide on it - little brown Faulding bottle in the firs aid aisle at the supermarket.

Hth and good luck!!

Try a really hot compress (as hot as you can stand it!!) - i just got rid of a massive blindy and it took 3 days to come to a head and was sooooo painful - but once it came to a head and i drained it its pretty much disappeared - try not to squeeze it as it will spread the infection!!!

Yep the hot compress usually works a treat.

Regarding a concealer try a "green" concealer. Many brands make one, it's probably best to go to one of the cosmetic counters at Myer or David Jones. The green colour covers the red perfectly and once your foundation and powder is applied you won't see any colour at all.

Good luck - here's hoping your wedding is everything you dreamed it would be. xx

Thanks girls...

I normally just pop some tea tree oil on it before bed and the next morning it's either gone right down or a head has appeared... but not this time.

Windex? Metho? I'm too scared Limey... will it burn the skin around it??

Krisp, I was thinking the green concealer. I can't believe how red it is!!

ETA: it's not my wedding, thank goodness. My BIL is getting married, but I don't want to be the one in the photos with the massive zit on her chin

Eyedrops. They take the redness out, and make it easier to cover. Three times a day until Sat!

Lol no not at all... Use cotton wool or a make up pad like you would nail polish remover and dab it on. It works.

[Anila]

lol yes - because windex is essentially metho
It is what my grandmother used when she was a tenn and the only thing that worked most of the time on my acne... And I tried everything lol

Whatever you do, do not even attempt to squeeze a blind pimple! It will seriously make it 1000 times worse. I normally put toothpaste on them overnight and it makes them heaps better.

I hope it clears up for you soon
