I recently got a pimple above my upper lip, and if anything its gotten worse. I'm also noticing a new one coming in the same place. Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to make them go away?

It could be anything. If you've included any new products in your routine or a new formula in an existing product, it could be your skin purging or reacting to that. It could be due to oil transfer from your hands, mobile phone, clothing, sunglasses, anything that has touched or touches your face. It could also be hormonal, this can happen at any time of the month but expecially during your ovulation and fertile period (this lasts for a week, you ovulate on around about the 15th day of your cycle and are fertile on the surrounding days) and when you are on or around your period. It could also be due to a sudden drop or rise in hormone levels (such as oestrogen and testosterone). However, it can also be due to stress, which you may not realise you have been under. If they don't clear up or keep appearing in the same place within the next couple of weeks, I'd advise to see a doctor, dermatologist, skincare specialist, etc.

I always recommend tea tree oil. You can get it at a local drug store. It works like magic. Just apply a tiny bit and leave it there.

I have tried applying a little dot amount of toothpaste (white colour) on the zits and leaving it for about 1 hr and then washing it off. I had noticed a visible difference.
