How long does it take to get rid of a huge zit?

Last night I had chocolate cake and now I have this huge zit on the lowers side of my face. I've already piped it a little but it's still there under the skin and swelled. I've scrubs it clean with nuetrogena pink grapefruit scrub and put benzoyl peroxide and took my antibiotic so How long will it take to go away.

how do i get rid of these horrible blackheads?

have a bunch of horrible blackheads on my face back and chest. i don't really get pimples and when i do they're small. but these blackheads are really bad. i'm 12 but thank god no one really notices them. there are tons on my forehead, nose, chest, and back. i don't know what to do. i've tried so many things:
clearasil acne treatment cream with 10% benzoyl peroxide
clearasil acne pads with sacyclic acid
noxzema
aveeno clear compexion face wash
aceeno skin brightening scrub
st. ives apricot scrub
biore pore strips
neutrogena pink grapefruit scrub
even home remedies like:
yogurt for 20 mintues
massaging olive oil into my face
lemon juice
onions
patting tomatoes on my face
even mixing salt and water together and patting that on my face
and using toothpaste

None of these really worked! now i'm just using dial soap and some of my brother's perscribed benzaclin gel. its seems to work but i'm waiting to go to the dermatologist myself. my mom always forgets to make the appoinment though so i don't see it happening soon :/ i've had this since i turned 9 and almost nothing has worked! don't give me any home remedies or expensive products like Murad or proactiv or those home remedies like toothpaste please. just products you're sure that are absolutely garunteed to work but aren't expensive. i'll use something within the range of 10-15 dollars or less nothing higher cause i don't get much of an allowance anyways.
no links plz because they are slow when i try to open them on my computer.
i do pop them but they always seemed to get worse while i did that so now i just leave them alone...

How can i get rid of my acne?! Please help!?

I have major whiteheads all over my forehead. There are bumps on every inch of my forehead, and nothing I try is helping me! I've used Boscia Treatment, Philosophy Microdelivery Peel, Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Acne Wash, GoClear Treatment, and DDF Benzoyl Peroxide. I tried using the Acne.org Regimen, but I do not see signs of improvement. I've also used home remedies such as lemon juice and toothpaste.

WHAT WORKS?! Please, please, please help. Anything at all that works, no matter the price. Thank you!

Which face wash will best help my blackheads?

Lately, I have been breaking out in blackheads. I don't really get regular acne zits often, just blackheads in my nose area. I used to use clean and clear cleansers, but recently switched to neutragena in an attempt to clear my nose. It hasn't really worked. I'm fourteen, and I don't want to use pore strips.

So my real question is, what face wash helps remove and prevent blackheads?
I have already gone through two bottles of the Pink Grapefruit scrub, and I have made sure to only buy washes with salicylic acid :(

What to do about stubborn acne?

I have tried almost every product that is out there
(here's a general list of what i've tried:
Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Oil-Free Power-Clean Scrub
Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub
Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser
Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask
neutrogena pore refining cleanser

most clean&clear products including the advantage system, but it always dries out my face and gives me a rash

the body shop tea tree cleanser and toner

Clearasil Ultra Daily Face Wash
Clearasil Ultra Acne Treatment Cream Vanishing
Clearasil Pimple Blocker Pen

and this pore minimizer warming scrub from loreal or something at the department store)

and probably others i can't quite remember. things with 2% benzoyl peroxide, 10% benzoyl peroxide, 2% salicylic acid EVERYTHING

this is my one and only self esteem issue. i don't wear any coverup/foundation/powder or anything that covers my face, only make up i wear is mascara. my cheeks and chin are usually fine, every once in a blue moon they act up, but its nothing too bad. my nose has TONS of blackheads, large and noticeable. and my forehead is the big problem area. i wear my hair out of my face, i wash my face twice 3 times a day (when i wake up, after school, before bed). i drink 10 8floz of water a day, i don't touch my face you would think my face would be flawless but nope. i get break outs all the time. and now they've moved down to my cheeks which i was always confident with because they are clear. but my darn forehead. i break out with a zit at least once every 2-3 days and they last about 5-7 days so there is at least 4 on my face at all times. its a bummer and i see girls who exercise and don't wash their face right after and they touch their face and wear make up and have the prettiest clearest most flawless faces ever. i can't stand it.

what products should i take? what works the best for extremely stubborn acne?!

please help!
i also get a facial every couple months

Problem with acne (I've used a lot of products)?

Hi, im having a bit of problem with my acne,
Im 14 years old and i just started breaking out this year, and i
would say my acne is moderate, but not severe. I usually break
out on my chin, and my cheeks. I don't really break out on my forehead.
These are the products i am currently using:

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash pink grapefruit facial cleanser.
Clean and Clear; Foaming facial cleanser
Lo'real 360 Clean Deep cream cleanser
Biore' Pore unclogging scrub.

I use them all EVERY Day and I can't get rid of this acne, im tired of hiding behind my makeup. (And please do not tell me to not wear makeup, because i am very very light on putting on the concealer, or foundation.)

Thanks for your help. :)
