I have this white thing on my face. My mom says it is a pimple, but I don't think it is. How can I remove it fast and without popping it?

well u shouldnt pop it that can leave scars. but at drugstores you can find spot treatment gels and ointments they work pretty well and you can see a difference in size and swelling in just one night so thats a good way to get rid of it. i hope thats helpful.

If it's looks like a little white ball under the surface of the skin (with no redness or inflamation.. unless you've been poking and proding at it) it's probably just a little cyst. They're just a build up of oil or fat under the skin and are totally normal, infact theres a tiny one under my eye right now. Leave it alone. Nothing you can do will make it go away. It might kick around for a few weeks, but chances are it will just sponateously disappear and you won't even notice.

use Hydrogen Peroxide on it daily....also use Apple Cider Vinegar nightly on it.

It's just a spot, leave it alone and it will go away on its own. Don't pick it or poke it or squeeze it - you'll make it worse and it might leave a scar.

Sounds like it might be milia. You can get it removed at your beauty therapist. Thickening of the skin due to hormonal changes. If you can go the health shop/naturopath to find something to take internally to help with your hormones thats a good start. The chemicals we use on our faces can do more harm than good.

One, you should generally listen to your mother. She has had pimples before, guaranteed, and is probably aware of how they look, but feel free to ask a dermatologist for a second opinion. A couple of home remedies exist. To resolve a mild oily problem quickly, try PLAIN OLD FASHIONED TOOTHPASTE, like Rembrandt brand. It will dry out the problem, then soap and water can help resolve the underlying problem. To resolve a red and irritating problem, you might try Windex. This Big Fat Greek solution really does work as a quick resolve but can lead to splitting of the skin later due to the chemical flood. Last but not least, my recommendation for a short term solution for skin irregularities smaller than 3mm in diameter, just buy some cover-up. Makeup has been used to conceal acne for generations and while it can make the problem worse, for a few hours, it can be the difference between feeling fresh and confident from oily and awkward.
