:( Oh no! I have a problem...?
Okay, so today I woke up and I have a big, ugly, red pimple on my face! I hardly ever break out, IF ever, so I'm kind of freaking out. I don't really know what to do! I have school tomorrow. Right now it's 9:00 PM..I was thinking of putting ice on it, because I heard it takes away the redness, but will it last all night? Or do I have to ice it in the morning before school? I also heard visine helps, but I can't find my visine! 
I just put on a avocado mask, and washed my face, and my skin is nice now, but ugh. What should I do?!

Im assuming you don't wear concealer and maybe not even foundation. what i would do in your situation is wash my face, use spot treatment (i recommend keeping a little around the house for situations like these) or if you don't have any tooth paste, going to sleep. the in the mourning wash your face again and put some ice on it. If you have foundation use it, but too much could actually bring more attention to it. Just remember, we all get acne and no one is going to freak out about you getting a single pimple. also, try not to touch it very much and make sure your hands are clean when applying spot treatment.
There`s not much you can do about it over night, but I do recommend taking a nice hot shower to get your pores open, so that you can gently squeeze the pimple to make it look smaller and less noticeable.
Alot of people will tell you not to do this, but if it`s an emergency and that pimple needs to go, then just use your fingers to gently squeeze. Either that or put toothpaste on it and wake up in the morning and wash it off.
The redness is usually the worst part of a pimple, so just use foundation all over your face to even out your skin tone and no one will even know. Foundation literally covers every face flaw and makes it look perfect. If you don`t have any then go down to Wal-Mart real quick and buy a cheapy foundation that still works really good like Rimmel Lasting Finish with some of their powder over top.
Good luck, hope I helped!!
I would not worry about it too much but if it bothers you, try the Neutogrena 8 hour gel, this works wonders and is available at your local drug store. I also use Vicks Vaporrub, this will bring down the swelling, Don't fuss with it too much as you might irritate the blemish and it could become worse before it becomes better. If it is still there tomorrow just cover it up with a good foundation (preferably a mineral based one)...best of luck to you
i have a home remedy that works wonders!! no need to go to the drug store! Crush up 2 aspirin & mix it with a little bit of water (just enough to make it a pasty consistency). Dot the paste on the pimple, let it sit for a few minutes, and rinse off. The aspirin acts as an anti-inflammatory & astringent to help clear it up & reduce redness. Hope this helps!
haha, pimples wont go away over night most times, but you should try too many things at once just because it bugs you. Just sleep with a little ointment or something. Make sure youre not sleeping on a "overly used" pillowcase. Good luck
You colud put a dot of White toothpaste on this. The gel stuff won't work. Or you could use Eyedrops, which help remove the redness.
put a bit of ice on it tonight.
and when yuu go too bed dab a tiny bit of clear white toothpaste onto the pimple.
it should reduce the redness and help it go away faster.
dont put anything too oily on it, like vasilene and creams.

In all honesty, whatever you do will not make it go away. You can put things on it but it won't make it go away. Just put foundation on it tomorrow! It will still show but decrease it's visibility. Good luck.
yeah white toothpaste always works for me. leave it on your pimple before you go to bed and it should eliminate the pimple or at least shrink it.
Try toothpaste. Good luck!
