So I had this zit last night..a red one with no head..but it hurt like a son of a %^&$*..so what did I do?? I popped it. I got all the crap out of it...but I had to squeeze it hard to do so. Now..this morning, I wake up..and there is a HUGE red mark there from where I had to pinch it so hard. Has this happened to anyone else?? I don't even want to go out of the freaking house.

I hardly ever get cysts - mostly just whiteheads and blackheads, but when I do get one, it's huge, hurts like heck, and never goes away. Right now I have a rather large and definitely noticeable and unnattractive one right in the middle between my eyebrows. Last night I tried squeezing it, but there's nothing in it. It's like it's just inflammed and infected and red. And it sticks out so far! I can't even cover it with makeup. Just looks worse. Don't squeeze your anymore, you'll just spread the bacteria around and make new cysts.

Ugh..I just really want the pinch marks to go away. Last time this happened it took about a week and a half.

Any suggestions???

I *hate* red marks.

I hate them too. That's mainly what I have. I have a few active pimples right now but tons of red scars, which still look like pimples. The only solution for me is concealer and patience.

Yours only stay a week and a half? You're so lucky! Mine take at least 6 months to go away and I don't even pop.
