i know i shouldnt've picked on it. i learned my lesson the hard way. i have a pimple right smack in the middle of my nosefor the last 2 1/2 weeks. its one of those big ones that bleed and have A LOT of pus in it. it started getting all better & it was in the process of receeding when it just stopped. and now its slowly turning white. when i squeez it, nothing comes out. and i doubt if its pus in there. it doesnt bleed, do ANYTHING! and its not that red. i can put concealer on it and its not that noticeable. but whats wrong with it? it wont freakin go away!!!!

Schoolboy!	Hehe not to worry its just a pimple a normal DRY pimple. Whne pimples get dry they dont squirt out pus or blood just stay dry for a while untill it recovers completely it became dry from all the presssure you did to it by pressing on it to get the pus out. I have a bad case of like 2 pimples right now in the front of my face I recommend for you to buy Proactive and do as the treatments indicate It has helped me ALOT and I reccome it to you it will work 100% but must use it every night or every morning for it to work right =)

*♥`ηε§§α`♥*	Get your DR to check it. Hopefully it's not MRSA.

shasta	Put some Calamine lotion ( has to be the pink kind) on it tonight before you go to bed. Put a huge dab of it on it and sleep in it tonight. It will help. Plus you can use this stuff as a wonderful concealer under your make-up.

Greywolf	Wash it regularly when you wash the rest of your face and stop squeezing it. Also, wash the concealer off of it as soon as you get home (if you're not going back out). Getting the pus out of it was necessary when the pore was infected. It sounds like the infection has cleared up and squeezing it and putting concealer on it are keeping it from healing completely. If leaving it alone for a week doesn't work, go to a doctor.

lacey	"u r sick. buy an XBOX 360" ha i really like that answer. but anyway it smeems like your pimples came back :( and now it just a flat white head im guessing? let it develop. untill you can pop it then keep it clean and dont put conceler on it.

funkmeraw	Pictures please.

Da guy	no

RuyGuy23	just leave it be.

clayshell_love	you should really not put makeup on it. use alcohol & proroxide on it & it should dry up & go away. Another really nasty way that does work is to sleep with a piece of bacon taped on it & all the grease will soak into you pore with the junk that is already in there it will rise to a head & all come out when you pop it.

fagfacex3	doctor!

saintifying	buy some clearasil face wash, don't put so much makeup on it, and use products containing Benzoyl Peroxide and Salicylic Acid, and it should clear right up.

mine	put some Benzoyl Peroxide on it, dy it up REALLY well.. if it's big and deep, it could be a boil and those take a very long time to go away.. even WITH drying it up well. If it is closer to the surface, then wash it with DIAL SOAP (the orange bar). I use it, and it dries up skin well, keeps my face with minimal zits. Anything will take a while, possibly up to 2 weeks to get a BAD ZIT under control.. good luck.. mitch

Kevin jonas ALL THE WAY!!	probably, check with your docter

Harkanwar A	it will go away with time, its not infected

lizabeth100	lol go buy an xbox 360 lol or come jelly fishing with me lol its not infected you just need to wash your face properly and try clearasil or pro active anything with benzil peroxide..

kevinthenextwaynegretzky2005	its there for life!

Devan!	Doubt its infected. But it might make it smaller if you could get the hard seed like thing out of it. Run your face under some hot water (hot as you can stand it) for a minute or so. And then pop it again. The put some Benzoyl stuff on it and I guess your make up and call it a day =]

kelly e	Interesting advice. Infected would mean a lot of puss and it would hurt. I would use a hot compress a few times a day heat in micro for double warmth, 10 mins on/10 off and repeat.. Wash with acne wash, toner and then spot it with acne cream. Try this for about 3 days no improvement see an MD for his/her advice - you may need something stronger. Sometimes you can take a sterile pin in the center and see if whatever is hard in there will drain - but do this with caution.

honey	put a dab of liquid dial on it several times a day. this should dry it up in a few days. stop messing with it. you will only irritate it and it will last longer. if it doesn't go away in a few weeks you need to see a doctor.

kindhearted	its infected. u think it is healing but it really isnt and it wont go away 100% until u take some antibiotics... go see a dermatologist... chances are he/she will give u samples from the office so u dont have to purchase expensive antibiotics... lots of luck and stop touching it. yuck

Morpheus New-Age Rainbow Warrior	It's a rare form of cancer, and your nose will fall off without the proper care... Seriously... take some Rose Hips for a few days... you'll be amazed at how much faster you heal. By the way, left untreated your infection will spread to the brain... no joking, it will. ME! .
