I had a zit on my lip the other day, no big deal... but I STUPIDLY popped it, and it swelled up... i can deal with that, wasnt too noticeable.. and then i felt another zit coming up right next to it.
I woke up today and the left part of my lip is over double the size of the other parts, i look like a freak. I have 2 hours until class.. what can i do?!

Sounds like it hasnt completely come out yet... I dont think there are 2 minute cures to pimples http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif
Best of luck!
Try taking lysine (found in the vitamin section) about 2 times per day. Won't help in the short term but will help prevent these breakouts. also taking an antihistamine can help or Benadryl......and also try to apply HERPECIN on the lips regularly. This will help.

Ibuprofen helped a lot. I took a 600 mg tablet in the morning, by the time i got to class it had gone down a lot, i still felt too self conscious about it to have a decent conversation with any of my friends. Then i took another one at lunch.. My skin looks so calm, all the zits that i have shrank..it was great.
