Painful zit on tip of nose.

Hey girls.. So I developed this extremely painful zit on the tip of my nose. It doesn't have a head but it is a small red mark and quite swollen. I'm going to a thing for college in 2 days where I have to stay the night. How should I treat it in time for that? I'm kind of desperate.
Thanks!

It probably won't be completely gone in 2 days but you can try tea tree oil to reduce redness and swelling - then cover it with the Clinique acne solutions concealer - it's got a green corrector built in to cancel the red and make it blend in with your skin tone - you can also try to dab a sulfur mask just on the pimple and leave it overnight to help dry it out and bring it to a head quicker.

Take some Advil as directed. It's an anti-inflammatory and will help expedite the healing by reducing the redness, pain and swelling.

This isn't a medical method or anything but put an ice cube on it, that eliminates swelling. Then put redness relief eye drops on it and that should take out the redness. Again nothing scientific or fancy but if you use this method it should be gone in about an hour or less... I hope that helps :)

Try Vicks Vaporub. I put it on before I go to bed and it works. Your zit may not be absolutely *gone by the time of your college overnight thing, but the redness and swollen-ness (if that's even a word😬) should be gone so not as noticeable. Hope this helps!

Wow! The Advil worked wonders! Thank you all so much 😊 It's actually completely gone now!!

You're welcome. I read about it in a magazine about 5 years ago. Top model beauty secret.
