Killer Zit Attack!

Ow ow ow!  There's a hateful zit making its angry presence on my chin!  How I loathe you!  Just wait til you're ready and you'll be sorry!  I'll pop you til you're wasted and spent!  To hell with all the doctors who tell me not to pop a zit.  I always doubt if they do follow their own advice anyway.  But then they're doctors...they can just inject themselves with a dose of antibiotic to kill off the baby zit before they happen.

Since I'm not a dermatologist nor a filthy-rich individual who can afford to go ask a dermie to zap my zit every time, I have found some cheaper urban-myth ways to kill a zit.  This is what I found:

  1. Rubbing crushed garlic cloves on a pimple stops it from swelling and cures it.
  2. Mix 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and apply - they should shrink. In time, not, like, immediately.
  3. Apply a little bit of honey to the pimple.
  4. Do NOT go around poking/bursting it - EWWW!
  5. One of the best treatments is to apply juice of a fresh papaya fruit to it.
  6. Applying lemon/lime juice and honey is good too.
  7.  Blending cucumber in a blender and applying to your skin for about 30 minutes can prevent you from getting acne/pimples. My sister ALWAYS DOES THIS :D
  8. 1 Applying a little bit of toothpaste dries it out.
  9. Dissolving aspirin in water and washing your face with it can help. 
  10. Don't go rubbing/touching/squeezing/bursting it etc
  11. Steaming your face twice a day.
  12. Applying white vinegar cures it
  13. Keep your face hydrated and drink LOTS OF WATER!
Rubbing vinegar or garlic is  absolutely out of the question.  I won't have myself with a third eye on my chin and smell like fart and gastric juice at the same time.  Nor do I wanna rub honey on myself....that instantly turn me into an insect yummy treat.  Wonder if a concoction of cucumber and aspirin mix lemon juice will defeat my evil pimple.  But then I won't have my revenge of squeezing the life out of that damn sucker.  That reminds that interesting time I had squeezing at someone's cyst....it brings me that immense sadistic satisfaction to see the pus oozing out of the cyst like toothpaste.  I'm glad that the cyst never returned...but there's 1% of me that wish I could squeeze out some more in the future.  It's like that obsession with popping those air-pocketed packing paper....
