I have a zit. Will this prevent me from getting a job?

I second the toothpaste on it to help dry it out.

If you bring it to a head and can resist popping it ( you won’t. No one can.) it will be harder to cover it up.

What about a nice face tattoo? :smiley:

Sorry for causing a panic! I forgot about that imposter daughter of hers. The REAL Heloise is long dead, of course.

That’s OK, masonite. I didn’t realize the current Heloise’s mother was also a Heloise that gave home-making advice.

I try :slight_smile:

Antibiotics. Works every time.

If you put toothpaste on it, make sure it’s plain old toothpaste, not gel or tartar control or whitening or ANYTHING like that.

A few years agao I put tartar control toothpaste on my zit and in a few hours I got a nice big oozing crater that took two weeks to heal. Now I have a nice crater scar.

Please don’t do the toothpaste. If you really want it gone, go and get a cortizone shot from a doctor.

Reading all of these pimple terminologies is making me hungry.

Let us know how the interview went.

Thanks for all the advice!

I’m heading out pretty soon. I was able to give it a small squeeze last night, and now it’s a lot smaller than it was (though also darker, but I can cover it up).

I didn’t use toothpaste or bacon. Broomstick’s post scared me out of using anything other than my prescription cream. Kalhoun, I do take tetracycline, as prescribed; why it didn’t prevent this I’ll never know.

Off I go!

I’m back.

Can’t really say how it went. I didn’t bomb out; I know that. In some ways, I think I made a good impression; in some others, I may have fallen short, depending on what the interviewer was looking for.

At any rate, though, I don’t think the zit was the dealbreaker. Just misplaced anxiety, I s’pose.

I should hear back tomorrow or Wednesday, so I’ll let y’all know!
