Damnit, two "whiteheads" presented themselves, how does one quickly get rid?

[Descartes]

One popped up right on my cheek bone, the other next to my lip. They're the kind that leave the area really red until they disappear. I have meetings with clients tomorrow, so how can I get rid of them (or at least combat the redness) really quick so that I don't look like someone just coming out of puberty?

Thanks!

hmm... i usually pop and squirt the juice all over the place, but bump for you

carefully pop them and then gently rub with alcohol at least twice or three times a day with something soft like a cotton ball they should be gone in a day or 2

I think that's what I did earlier by accident, but then it presented itself again, along with quite a bit of redness. Drives me nuts...

Will hydrogen peroxide work?

Wear makeup and heels. You just might be able to pull it off if you do something with your hair, too.

Yes, but the alcohol dries it up also.

Oxy 10 makes an ointment that also is tinted to help hide it a little. You may want to try that.

i think chicks use something called concealer. i tried it once but my friend is white so it didn't turn out too well for me.

Is that how people see me? I'm nearly 24 and still have a few zits on my face at any time. I took accutane in my late teens and it helped but then came back. God I hate zits. I'm basically used to them now though.

Nah man, I think my comment was a little too harsh. I get zits too fairly often, but they're usually hard to see, and disappear quickly. It's things like this that are like a big stop sign on my face that really irk me. I think that some people associate acne with youth, and therefore may present a perception of inexperience to potential clients. I saw this on a program I saw on TLC once, so I don't know how true that really is

Its probably true. Just nothing I can do about it so I don't sweat it too much. I am guessing that by my late 20's my zits will have cleared up for the most part

Make sure if you pop them you use an alcohol prep pad, don't touch them with your fingers. Getting an infection there would obviously be bad.
