Do you guys know of any products that are proven to clear humongous pimples?
I have one that is one inch all around(probably) and it kind of hurts too.
thanks! |

One inch???  I'm so sorry, that sounds really painful. I use MDF clearing complex or Dermalogica medicated gel on mine. It seems to dry them up and they heal a lot faster. Most important: No picking! I've also used toothpaste overnight, but that probably won't work considering the size of it. |

| Tea Tree oil used neat on the area morning and night, also Apple Cider Vinegar. |

| Try a beta hydroxy acid, and a blemish fighting solution. Both products are found at cosmeticscop.com. |

glistenxz - have you seen your doctor about this? Oxytetracycline (antibiotics) worked for me when I had one like 1/2 inch all round - I know the pain you're going through! I was on something else before that but it didn't work so I went back to the doc and asked him for another type of antibiotics.
Give it some time - once the icky stuff comes to surface it'll be a real relief.
Can you get topical antibiotic solution over the counter where you live without a prescription? The one I used was called Dalacin-T.
I also tried Decleor's Aromessence Contour balm on it one time (out of desperation - this stuff's for cellulite!). Amazingly the size reduced a little over a couple of days. Who knows, give it shot! Works on some, doesn't work on some.
Hope you're feeling better!  |

| One inch?! I think you might want to see someone about this. If that's the size of it then you might be looking at a boil rather than a pimple. Products with AHAs and BHAs always work well (and quickly) for my skin. Check out something like MD Formulations Clearing Complex. Also, if you have any mud masks then try appying it to the affected area and leaving it on overnight (if your skin is not sensitive and IF this is a pimple). |

| I would go with either Yonka Juvenil or Yonka Emulsion Pure (or homemade version). Either of these products will either help bring the pimple to a head so that you can “purge” the debris from the pore, or else it will help the bump disappear completely. |

My holy grail product for any type of pimple BIG or small is Serious Skin Care Dry-Lo. You can order it on Hsn.com and one bottle will last you forever(I've had mine a year now). You apply it with a Q-tip at night , and wash it off in the morning. My pimples usually clear up overnight. Honestly....it works magic. I swear by it!!!

FYI - they sell some Serious Skincare products at local Ulta stores in the U.S., in case you want instant gratification and can't wait long enough for the mailman to arrive with your package -- like me!!! |
